Dear Friends,
Many of you in India will have personally met and known Farah Rustom in Mumbai and followed her unique personal story. Farah has just released a book, titled “Becoming Farah”. I encourage you to buy and read it. It is available on Amazon in the paperback and/or kindle version. Thank you.
Amazon introductory text: “Farah’s cutting-edge gender reassignment surgery in 1976 created a sensation, as she was already well known as a pioneering lecturer on Western Classical Music Appreciation and a freelance journalist. This is her astonishing, frank and unique story, honestly and movingly describing her many passions, experiences and travels around India. A moving portrayal of life in Bombay until the Eighties, belonging to a very special and distinct community little known outside of India, namely the Parsis, originally from Persia. It is a portrait of a wonderful and very special city in a joyfully creative and fascinating era, now sadly gone forever, although as every person who grew up in Bombay will attest, once the city becomes a part of you, it is there forever.”
