Customer Reviews of The Stolen Light (Continents of Exile)
the most astonishing autobiography I ever read This book is one volume in a series of books that form the autobiography of Ved Mehta. Mehta started with two biographies of his mother and father (Mamaji and Daddyji) and then started to write about his own life. It's an astonishing, deeply moving story of a boy gone blind at a very early age, who goes to America to study, and later to England (Oxford) and Harvard, to become a staff writer for The New Yorker. It's a shame and a disgrace that most of these books are out of print, because I consider them as Great Literature. He not only tells his own life, he also gives you insight into different cultures (starting with the lives of his mother and father, who had a totally different background, then the separation of India and Pakistan, then the difference between East and West, and finally between America and Europe). Warning: If you read one part of his autobiography, you'll want to read them all!
