BOOK NOOK Bethany's Pick: Shantaram by Greogory David Roberts In the page-turning autobiographical novel, “Shantaram,” convicted felon Gregory David Roberts breaks out of an Australian prison and flees to Bombay, India where he finds himself on the run in an underworld of slum-dwellers, thugs, smugglers, opium dens and prostitution houses.
