Her account is filled with culture clashes both humorous and disturbing, spirited descriptions of her fellow students and the Indians she met, and vivid descriptions of her host country. What sets DREAMING IN HINDI apart from other travel memoirs is its in-depth examination of the latest scientific theories on the way the brain changes during learning acquisition, and Rich uses testimonies from linguistics experts to provide analysis of the way her mind, and personality, shifted as it began to eventually dream in another language. minimize
