Six Acres and a Third: The Classic Nineteenth-Century Novel about Colonial India by Fakir Mohan Senapati

adventurous funny informative lighthearted mysterious relaxing slow-paced

4.5

4.5 Stars.

It is quite an entertaining read, and to know so much about my own Odia culture and the ancestors of Odisha. The imagery of Odia village, its people and the way they live is utterly fascinating and reminds me of my childhood when I was in my village for most of the time. I am really excited to read more Odia books and especially Senapati's other work Lachhama which I bought last month. Fakir Mohan Senapati is a towering figure in Odia literature whose short stories I had read during my high school years. Hopefully, I would explore more of his works in the future.
