em_beddedinbooks's review against another edition
5.0
One of the best books that I read so far this year. This was a hidden gem which I found in the archives of a Facebook book group . Had never heard of the author of title.
The title fascinated me... and I was drawn into the South Indian Tamil Brahmin family and it's happenings.
Rapa is the girl narrating the story via journal and letters, and she gives us a good glimpse of how many skeletons a closet of a reputable upper care family can hold.
I read with nostalgia about the place, food habits, customs and traditions.
Many an instance I was taken back to my childhood and formative years.
This is an unusual and unconventional story chocful of wisdom and warning... and unusual, colourful people.
Each and every character, including Kutry Lakshmi the infant influences me
this is one book that I will definitely read again.
