“My Family and Other Saints echoes Gerald Durrell's classic memoir, My Family and Other Animals, not only in its title, but in its wonderful humor and lyrical prose. Like Durrell, Kirin Narayan takes the reader to a fascinating world far from our own, and brings to life its myriad sights, sounds and smells, while revealing the profound cultural beliefs of its people. India is just the most complex character among a cast of characters-family members, gurus, hippies, and neighbors-all of whom I now count as old friends.” PeopleWorldCharacterBeliefSoundAnimalWonderfulReaderMembersMy FamilyIndiaSightProfoundComplexesSaintCastsSmellNeighborMemoirTitlesClassicProseFascinatingEchoesRevealingGuruHippieOld FriendsFamily MembersLyricalComplex Characters Author:Judith Barrington
