Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala Markandaya
5.0
Mother India was a powerful movie because it brought the truth and plight of India's agrarian community to our privileged urban eyes. Markandaya achieves the same effect in Nectar in a Sieve. The book is a short, simple yet captivating account of Rukmani's life, multifaceted as it may, capturing village ethos like no other.
Her metaphors are bound to make you smile, her imagery will draw the heaviest chills. The writing style is a little different, and will come across as a tad wordy due to the many 'fors' and 'buts', but one gets used to it by the halfway point.
Nectar in a Sieve doesn't disappoint, and will be ideal as your next Summer read.
