A Bapitists son, transported from The US of A's bible belt to Pakistan, because his humble preacher father,is sent there...Unfortunately, Chistianity has had limited sucess on the Indian Sub continent(Pakistan Included) since time Immemorial.What is appealing about this book is the simplicity of his secluded childhood although limitingly exposed to Pakistani children other than the you know whos...he paint's the hilly sites of Murre hills ,a favourite private school area and the acrid heat of Sukkur-Rhori-Sind area area....with childhood nostalgia and a Non Judgemental Tolerance of those of Islamic following...a book which should be on Mr.Bushs list of Mandatary reading...I know Mr.Le Carre will approve if he knew it existed...What left a undelible impression on me,was that even after over two decades of severe lack of sucess in Convertion of the Pakistanis...(I think it talked of three or four.).there was No bitterness in the whole experience...I would recommend this book particularly in todays trouble times when demonic words and arms are spontanously echoed in the name of God.
