[image: 1948955] <https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1948955-sonia-gomes> Sonia Gomes <https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1948955-sonia-gomes>'s review Jan 22, 2024 really liked it bookshelves: goa <https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1948955-sonia-gomes?shelf=goa> Not for Bina Nayak, the conventional Goa of sun, sea, sand and palm trees gently swaying in the wind. Bina drags us through the unconventional Goa that surprisingly does exist. We see Goa through the eyes of Tara Salgaonkar, a professional diver… A professional woman diver? Yes that’s what Tara does for a living and if that doesn’t astound us… Tara is a diver who works at retrieving, dead human bodies from wrecks, plunging the depths of the seas and oceans. Tara, as most of the young people in the seventies and eighties is deeply attracted to the peaceful culture of the Hippies who had come by the overland route to India in droves. Their music, their devil-may-care attitude is what drew Tara and her group of friends to Goa every summer. In Goa, Tara is deeply mesmerised by Bholenath Guruji and his trance parties, something that all young people were very attracted to, with most of the times unsavoury consequences. Tara collects some dark experiences as she navigates life. Now, the question that confronts the reader is, will Tara be able to surpass these unfortunate experiences and move on peacefully through life? https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6194090559 -- *** Please be polite and on-topic in your posts. *** --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Goa Book Club" group.
