"I was painful going through this book in my India and South Asia class with Prof. T, but now that I think about the book, it is actually pretty interesting.."
"This book is an account of a couple's experiences in a village in India. It is not the typical village in India, which the authors make clear, but serves as a guidepost for our understanding of the changes in the village and the country as a whole in the last seventy-five years."
