Just beautiful
I love India and have been there many times but this book taught me a lot I don't know. The book has an original format which was risky but works. You really get both caught up in the story and then feel like you've visiting the countries he's talking about. As travel writing, it doesn't get better than this. So refreshing to not be talked down to and he avoids the horrible snobbishness often ...

"I like these songs better than all the rest, and someday you will too," Franz Schubert told the friends who were the first to hear his song cycle Winterreise.

Susan Youens looks not only at Schubert's music but at the poetry, drawn from the works of Wilhelm Mller, who once wrote in his diary, "perhaps there is ...
