About this listen

The journey through life came to a T-junction. This is your invitation to pry into the diary, be the other tourist on the train, a voyeur at the accident, an eavesdropper on the argument. Two one-track minds merge with train-wreck results.

The girl Graham Field left in England is not the one who arrives in India. Sofia sees the trip as her swansong before motherhood, impatient to exchange backpack for a baby sling.

So begins the journey which is the:

Indian Itinerary of Endurance

  • A cold snap makes for a chilly reception in Delhi
  • First-class aggravation in Agra, tension at the Taj Mahal
  • Backtrack to the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri, a brief respite from outstretched hands
  • Non-stop to balmy Bombay and a runny bum
  • Tunnel vision, reaching down a Goan sewer for the irretrievable
  • Cross-country to Pondicherry, pondering decoupling
  • Wrong side of the tracks in Madras
  • Mind the gap year in Mahabalipuram
  • Grave digging, scrotum flicking, a big bhang triggers a pointless train of thought in Konark
  • Striking differences in Calcutta
  • Teased in Darjeeling, limited Himalayan view
  • Letting off steam walking into Nepal
  • Curfew and confrontation, the relationship reaches the end of the line in Kathmandu

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Graham never fails to deliver

I have been following Graham from the very beginning and to this conclusion to the trilogy, he once again did not disappoint.

He has a wonderful way of telling the story through his delivery and expressions. Listening to this audiobook I could envision him responding to comments from his travel companion, his reactions to their surroundings and his facial expression when her realized who he was in a small plane with.

Where the first two books, part 1 and part 2, focused on the adversity of traveling through Asia and traveling by bicycle. This books focus was the adversity of traveling with someone you ultimately realize would have been best to remain an aquaintance or a friend on social media. Their travel experiences, sights, sounds and conditions were woefully overshadowed by their blatent incompatability. Despite that, Graham maintained his disposition and held onto the wonderful memories the trip did bring him.

His narration of the book was, as always stellar. He's got this down, he knows what he is doing even through the nice little bit of afterthoughts and bloopers at the end.

Thank you Graham for another wonderful book.
