Sideways on a Scooter

Author(s): Miranda Kennedy

Location(s): Delhi

Genre(s): Autobiography/Memoirs

Era(s): Modern

When twentysomething reporter Miranda Kennedy leaves her job in New York City and travels to India with no employment prospects, she longs to immerse herself in the turmoil and excitement of a rapidly developing country. What she quickly learns in Delhi about renting an apartment as a single woman-it’s next to impossible-and the proper way for women in India to ride scooters-perched sideways-are early signs that life here is less Westernized than she’d counted on. Living here for 5 years,Kennedy recounts the life and city and the transition from Western culture.
