Ganagita

Beyond belief in parts and totally compelling, this unique take on love has delivered an unstoppable read. Legall has captured something special, almost mystical. A remarkable life story of love and loss across continents and cultures. When an Australian woman meets an Indian doctor, their lives become inextricably bound together with an exceptional devotion that overcomes diverse challenges across the years, surpassing even death. In a life far from ordinary, the couple move between Australia and India in their quest for happiness, embracing the opportunities that both cultures present and contending with the difficulties of personal health, differing traditions, and even legal corruption. India is revealed in all its contradictory facets - colourful, beautiful, peaceful and timeless, yet corrupt and dangerous. Riches and poverty are side by side, and to Western eyes, its people can seem both extraordinarily benevolent and frighteningly pitiless. In a memoir that moves easily between fast-paced suspense, sombre reflection, and a deep insight into the true nature of love, this book is testament to the resilience and generosity of the human spirit at its finest.
