Wendy Davis inherited this affection for India and its people. In Dal & Rice she chronicles the memories of her childhood and offers a poignant and measured character study of her father. Her story is part social history, part travelogue, but mostly a very personal account of a relationship with an exotic, chaotic, and often mysterious country.

Wendy M. Davis lives in Edmonton, Alberta, with a houseful of exotic birds, a passion inherited from her father.
