Summer Reading and viewing


The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Hi All!  Molly came across tow interesting books on India that would make great summer reading. The two books on India that Molly recommends are Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo and Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.  Both books are available at your public library.  The one by Katherine Boo comes on CD which would be great for listening if you are taking any long drives!

Enticed by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel and bolstered with visions of a life of leisure, they arrive to find the palace a shell of its former self.
