I think Lisa Ray (she would have to dye her hair black) would be perfect for the part and look really compatible with johnny depp. She can emote very well..if you have seen the movie "Water" My second choice would be Aishwarya Rai . im looking for the green eyed variety.. or some firangi girl. Didier - I think Naseeruddin would look too serious for the role as Didier's character is rather humourous and affable. An italian actor! should do the job. An indian --- well anupam kher i think would be good? In terms of casting for Karla — well an Indian simply wont do..esp since Karla is Swiss-german ??

Lots of things made me cry - but what made me laugh the hardest was Lin clinging on to the horse - I had to put down the book, hold my stomach and laugh ;) And thanks for the links - haven't gone thro them all - but I will. Great bits of writing - makes me wish I had done this too ;) RK, wonderful bits of thoughts — believe it or not, I had the same thoughts, same thought processes as I was reading the book.

But I agree that my threshold for liking a novel should increase..for that I need to read more and be able to separate good from average...
