Here's a new reading recommendation to follow-up on a prior post and comments.
Third-class Ticket
by Heather Wood
I just started this book and I really like it so far. I borrowed it off my boss who bought it when she was in India ten years ago, so I hope it's still in print.
An old wealthy lady dies and in her will, she leaves enough money to the Indian Railway Company to send all the people from her poor village on a railway tour of India. These people have never seen most of their own country and are amazed and changed by the journey. The author is a Canadian (from Red Deer, Alberta) who was lucky enough to travel with them for 7 months and penned a novel recounting their story.
