My husband and I both read this book. As a frequent visitor to Bali we found this very interesting. It has helped us to understand the culture of the Balinese and their whole meaning of life. We have many friends there and truly appreciate all they have shared with us about family, customs, religion, cuisine etc. They are warm and welcoming and very friendly. When you visit, take the time to immerse yourself in their everyday life and culture.We loved the book.
