Probably not; I'm not sure where, as a single white woman I'd fit. And I'd need to learn to speak Bangla properly and read it too - that would take the rest of my life! Still, in many ways Bhola would be the perfect community in which to bring up a child: safe, friendly, beautiful...<br /><br />AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03105658295546893535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-29181491524531052252010-10-15T14:41:08.577-04:002010-10-15T14:41:08.577-04:00Hi Emma

It's always good to read a real account of peoples experiences, especially with a touch of humour!<br /><br />Could you see yourself living there permanently, since you said you had a 'love affair' with the country?

The charity was formed as a result of the book which makes it extra special.<br /><br />The book is non-fiction. It all really happened and the 'character's are the people I met. As for romance - it's the story of a love affair with a country, not a person, although I adopted a 'husband' many times when it made officialdom easier!<br /><br />AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03105658295546893535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-28349546433673729802010-10-15T12:10:54.351-04:002010-10-15T12:10:54.351-04:00Hey Anne

Bless you for that!<br /><br />Amazing how three months can change a life forever!

Actually, they are very similar: both take a lot of time, commitment and challenge but are more than worth it in the end. The book may be a bit easier - at least the deadline is moveable (though I expect my very understanding publisher wishes it wasn't)!<br /><br />AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03105658295546893535noreply@blogger.com
