## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Swami and Friends
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2014*

This was the stuff I was looking for: The English Teacher contains a thinly veiled autobiographical account of the death of Narayan's wife. It was very interesting to learn about Hindu death and cremation services. The account of how he used a medium to get in touch with her spirit, who was constantly watching over him and their child, was riveting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I remember being terribly moved by The English Teacher
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2014*

I just re-read The Dark Room, which has stayed with me for years and years.  I found it even more heartbreaking than before.  Narayan helps the reader inhabit and personalities and feelings of characters very quickly.  Years ago, I remember being terribly moved by The English Teacher, which I will re-read again soon.  He is a treasure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
