More info

There is a great discussion guide and interview with the author at the back of the book. Several interesting web sites, too, including this one on making Indian food: http://www.indianfoodforever.com/.
We could go to an Indian restaurant for our next meeting?

See below for another site that has pictures of Bombay during the time period of the book (and a video from 1932 Bombay!).

A connected song....

I googled East of the Sun and these lyrics by jazz singer Sarah Vaughn came up for her song, East of the Sun (West of the Moon). Interesting how they relate. I don't think they were referred to in the book?

East of the sun and west of the moon,
We'll build a dream house of love
Near to the sun in a day, near to the moon at night,
We'll live in a lovely way dear
Living our love in memory
Just you and I, forever and a day,
Love will not die, we'll keep it that way,
Up among the stars we'll find
A harmony of life, too lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon, dear,
East of the sun and west of the moon.
Just you and I we'll build a dream house so lovely

Discussion

I found some links to questions that might help with later discussion of our book.
