ABOUT MAYA
Maya is 3 and she is a wonderful, inquisitive, sensitive, imaginative little girl. Her parents are relocating to India for a while and her mother, Rebecca (that's me!) hit upon the idea to write a Maya blog while we are away. The last thing I want this to be seen as is that I am speaking for Maya - I think the emotions she will experience will be so intense and varied - but what I do want to do is keep a record for her of her time there. I hope she will retain some memories of her time in India but, being realistic, she is only 3 and much of this she will forget.
The other reason I am writing this blog is because several years ago I read the book 'Hideous Kinky' by Esther Freud (also made into a film with Kate Winslet). The book is brilliant because it's written from the perspective of the author as a 5 year old child being taken to Morocco by her mother. I am fascinated to know what will be going through Maya's mind: how she will interpret the sights, sounds and smells of India. This will be something for her to read in years to come.
