Passage from India by Harold Mondol is a non-fiction book that journeys us through the life of the author, Harold Mondol. Harold, the protagonist, is an Indian — American, whose birth was identified as “strange” due to his parentage in the early 90s. The union of his father, an Indian Methodist pastor and his mother, an American missionary, was frowned upon, but they persisted, which gave birth to Harold. This book talks about the experiences Harold had through growing up in a Christian household with the love of his family and society. It also shares his travels, adventures, and experiences from childhood to adulthood as he learns different languages and tries to navigate life.

Passage from India is a real-life story of Harold, his history from childhood to the recent happenings in his life. The book is like a roller coaster ride as it talks about the highs and lows of his childhood, his marriages, and his parenting. The book is interesting as the author did an outstanding job of penning down the details of his life while adding pictures to help the reader visualize and understand better the points he is trying to pass on.

I found this book worthwhile as the story emerges from the life of his father to his recent years, which can be passed down as history and read and remembered by his generation and other people. I love how the author used his choice of words to narrate his adventures and bring out different emotions, which I find rare in such types of books.

I'm giving it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because the book was professionally edited. I found no grammatical errors or misspelt words. Furthermore, I like the book because of the author's writing skills as he arranged and showed the evolution and advancement of technology from the 20th century till the year, 2003, along his storylines.

I recommend this book to Christians and people who like real-life stories with a bit of adventure. It is, however, unsuitable for non-Christians as they may not understand their beliefs and lifestyle.
