A review by sushmamanava
The Queen of Jasmine Country by Sharanya Manivannan
4.0
Packed into less than 150 pages is the story of Kodhai who was found in a Tulasi grove in the home of an ardent Vishnu disciple (a God in Hindu mythology)
-
Kodhai’s character was every bit intriguing and i couldn’t put down the book as I wanted to find out more about how her story would pan out. And through the pages I learnt more about Kodhai and I enjoyed the many variants of her personality.
-
The book highlights many Hindu traditions and has glowing descriptions of many rituals. I also was reading a few interviews by the author and learnt that she was a poet and I think the lyrical writing reflects that. But I also think that a reader who doesn’t have any idea of the Hindu religion might find it difficult to relate
