Strangers in My Sleeper: Rail Journeys and Encounters on Indian Railways
By
Peter Riordan
Peter Riordan married two loves - India and old trains - when he crossed the 'iron thread' of the vast subcontinent, taking in deserts, great rivers, dusty, dirty cities teeming with humanity, mountain ranges, rainforests, rice and tea plantations...and plenty of officious railway ticket office officials. His elegant narrative style affection for the subcontinent and her people convey his enthusiasm in an absorbing account of an epic journey that is bound to appeal to armchair travellers, Indiaphiles and railway enthusiasts alike. The book is broken down into chapters each describing a leg of Peter Riordan's journey, from Madras, across India and through Pakistan and Myanmar and back into India.
