“An absolute joy to read.
Through her close encounters with the bovine kind, Narayan shows how Indian traditions are incorporated into her contemporary way of life.”—Library Journal, starred review.
“Sincere and laugh-out-loud funny . . .
Narayan’s rich and evocative writing transports readers to the busy streets of Bangalore and a fully formed picture of modern India.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Filled with the vivid colors, sights, and sounds
of a vibrant and ancient culture, Narayan’s in-depth treatment of cow mythology is a beautiful ode to her motherland.”—Booklist
