A Grasshopper's Pilgrimage

by Manjushree Abhinav

A Grasshopper's Pilgrimage spirals in directions unpredictable as it follows its free-spirited and soul-searching protagonist. This tale is host to a delightful motley bunch of sufi babas, smoking hippies, freedom fighters and, foreigners without visas. It is a love story of a woman's inner journey as she circles the feet of her Beloved mountain.

One of my favourite books :-)

Unsatisfied by the banality and routine of her life, Gopika breaks out in search of something more meaningful. Free-spirited and full of humor, Gopika proves to be both selfless and selfish, modern and traditional, as she hops from one unlikely or unwilling teacher to another. While she finds a certain peace in the shadow of a sacred mountain, the answer that eludes her, has lived right next to her most of her life.

A Grasshopper’s Pilgrimage is a delightful tale in an light, fresh voice, that brings with it the smells and flavors of India in both their splendor and humility. And whether it leads anywhere or not, a pilgrimage is about the journey, rather than the destination.
