Great Cities

Escaping winter's chill and darkness is June's plan. A summer's child who feels stuck in the wrong turn of life, she boards a plane for Mumbai, India. Unexpectedly, India greets her with an easy arrival. Her adventures lead her from the street mazes of Mumbai to the endless beaches of Goa, from the Hindu temples of Hampi to the Mogul palaces of Mysore. On the way, she encounters locals and travellers, Gods and beggars. Before long she finds herself on an inner journey as well, facing questions about herself and changing as a result of her experiences. Based on her own journeys through Asia, Dorothee Lang weaves an inspiring travel novel that includes ancient tales, lessons of karma, and modern myths. For those who are longing to go, it includes an extra chapter with practical travel tips.
