title: Holy Cow!: An Indian Adventure
author: Sarah MacDonald
description: Sarah MacDonald leaves her career in Sydney to go to India to join her partner, who promptly sets off to cover world events in Afghanistan (among other places) that are likely to put him at risk but also make his career. Deciding to make the most of her time in India alone, MacDonald sets out to explore as many spiritual traditions as she can in a short period of time. Prepare for a fast-moving and masterful narration by Kate Hosking. Her characterization of the Indian characters is nuanced and fun. The contrast with the distinctive Australian accents of MacDonald and other ex-pats adds to the sense of adventure and excitement and provides a backdrop for spiritual understanding. J.E.M.
