All in the name of research...
Tuesday, 5 April 2016
You never know what you’re going to end up doing to research a novel. When it came to writing ‘The Pagoda Tree’, I’ve shared my hotel room with a rat, ridden on a bullock cart, met a prince, and driven all night from Delhi to Pushkar in search of the perfect crumbling palace. I’ve trespassed and been chased by a fist-waving security guard; had my breast groped, once; had a parrot read my fortune, twice; eaten with my fingers off a banana leaf, lots. Most enjoyable of all, I’ve worn a sari.
Thanks again to all of you are supporting the UK publication of my novel. I'm now over halfway. Please continue to spread the word among your friends, book clubs and book lovers!
