Discover India with ‘East & West’ by Catherine Ann Jones

The book contains 15 fictional short stories on Indian cultural, mystical adventure and more

East & West: Stories of India by Catherine Ann Jones, published by Pippa Rann, portrays the daily lives and emotional realities of heroes, frauds, victims, and ordinary Indians. The collection of 15 stories is inspired by true events that Jones experienced when she got married and moved to India. The author writes in the book: “India is a vast and complex country and one that can change a life, containing the highest mystical experiences side by side with the lowest dregs of humanity. From my own experience of living many years in India, the sublime mythology of this incredible and complex culture so permeates the personal that myth often becomes reality – and reality, myth.” If you’re in search of a holiday read, you must get your hands on this book.
