Paine's books, such as Father India and Re-enchantment, have been named by publications ranging from Publishers’ Weekly to Spirituality & Health as "Best Book of the Year." His writing falls in the category of creative or literary nonfiction, which unites original scholarship with the dramatic narrative and character development associated with a novel.
