'Indian Summer' by Ceri Stone is a remarkable true story of a holiday rep working in the stunning resort of Goa, India. Written in the form of a journal, it is at times sad, enlightening and hilarious as the whole course of an eventful season unfolds in the swift turn of a page. A former pupil at Tenby's Greenhill School, the author, who hails from Kilgetty, is quite sardonic in his viewpoint as the season gets off to a traumatic start through his company's lack of organisation, the lack of staff and worst of all Indian red tape. There are hilarious encounters with the local staff and hoteliers, some amazing insights to the industry are recorded (like why do overbookings occur?) and the rep social life gets into full swing. But as the season starts to unravel, what really hits home is the way in which Ceri deals with the events and traumas that are laid before him. He develops a strained relationship with a colleague, one guest dies in his arms, many others launch vicious personal attacks and, throughout, the local attitude to service is equally funny and exasperating. From the first page to the last, this is a roller coaster ride of an Indian summer that will answer every question a tourist has ever asked of their rep. You can't help but be engrossed by a young Welshman's coming to terms with life in India. Every page will leave you wanting more and will probably have you rushing to the travel agent to book your next holiday. Heart-warming, eye-opening and funny as anything in print. Priced £7.99, 'Indian Summer' is available from Tenby Bookshop, Begelly Stores, http://www.amazon.co.uk">www.amazon.co.uk and Anglo American Books in Bancyfelin.
