About the Book:
Backpackers might head off without a care in the world, but for Caroline and her husband David, taking a gap half-year in Asia in their mid-50s, they found themselves questioning everything.
All roads seemed to lead to compassion and respect for all living things, which is the meaning of the book's title.
Part-travel, part-memoir, part-philosophy on life, Ahimsa is the story of how a menopausal journalist and a grumpy paramedic find themselves on the other side of the world falling in love with dogs, cows, wonky donkeys and a water buffalo called Flower.
Come with them on their six-month journey through six countries and see why they concluded that all paths in their lives had led to this point.
Ahimsa is a real-life story that is topical and questioning, funny, sad and increasingly angry. It's an uplifting, thought-provoking account of the route to compassion for all sentient beings, not least through the simple act of cuddling a cow in India.
Ahimsa includes suggestions for book club questions and top ten tips for new vegans.
