However it can be said that the novel is set mainly in two locations; London and Bodhgaya India. As some of the story is set in Bodhgaya, the place where the Buddha gained enlightenment, some of the novel does deal with some issues on Buddhism. Nevertheless it should be mentioned that the story as a whole cannot claim to be about Buddhism, or even the teachings of the Buddha. However look close and you may see a Buddhist message written between the lines. This leads onto the next bit about what The Burden of Truth is about. There is a lot that happens in the book; it has been written in a way to keep the reader guessing what is going to happen next. There are many unexpected twists and turns and more than a handful of surprises from the start of chapter one, all the way through to the last bit of the epilogue.
