In her book The Milk Lady of BangaloreShoba Narayan tells the tale of her return to India through a series of vignettes reflecting on cows. Cows as they relate to her life, cows as they position themselves in Indian society and culture, and specifically cows as they drive her relations with others, specifically with Sarala the woman who sells fresh milk in the street outside of Narayan’s house.
The book was a fascinating look at India despite its laser like focus on cows. I would recommend it for those interested in a look at another culture.
