Short description

Too old to flirt with the Norwegian meditation teacher. Too young for menopause.

Extended description

After Randi, an American in India who translates pulp fiction into Tibetan, finishes her latest project, she's stuck in her apartment during monsoon season with too much time to think.

She flees to a ten-day Buddhist retreat to find peace and quiet: but all it does is expose her to a bunch of chatterbox kids and rude guys with bad gas. Too old to flirt with the Norwegian meditation teacher. Too young for menopause. So much for finding meaning in her life.

Review by: Twisted Root Publishing on Aug. 14, 2011 :
Having travelled in India and visited His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, this story and its rich details brought back all the contradictions of that country. The middle-aged character carried her angst with a humor that only someone with a few years on them could have. A really fun read. Recommended.

Review by: White Sun Press on Aug. 01, 2011 :
Too funny. Definitely captures, err...something...in the experience of attending retreats during the monsoon in the land of monkeys, dal and the Dalai Lama. Worth a read if you enjoy laughing at the absurdity of culture clashes and spiritual seekers who take themselves too seriously.
