The Hundred-Foot Journey Setting (In the Beginning)
The Hundred-Foot Journey's setting is taken place in Bombay which is in India. In the beginning of the book, it talks about how his family journey started in a kitchen in the plains of India. The author puts great detail talking about the setting in the beginning. " My life in the kitchen, in short, starts way back with my grandfather's great hunger. And that three day ride atop the train, baking in the fierce sun, clinging for dear life as the hot iron chugged across the plains of India, was the unpromising start of my family's journey."The author adds more detail about the city of Bombay. It gives almost background information about the city. "To understand the Bombay from where I come, you must go to Victoria Terminus at rush hour. It is the very essence of Indian life. Coaches are split between men and women, and commuters literally hang from the windows... The trains were so crowded there isn't even room..." This information shows how Bombay is a busy place and very highly populated with people. The transportation systems in the city are really important and busy.
