Pather Panchali: Song of the Road by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay

5.0

I’ve been waning to read this book for over a decade and I hate myself for my procrastination. But, I’m glad I read before it’s too late. I’m glad I’ve saved myself from not watching the movie before I read the book. The author hits you hard and brings back all the childhood memories although I’m not born in the generation, the book was written. I had my moments where I missed my childhood, my moments where I couldn’t hold back my tears. I think the book should be read in a week or two to enjoy and feel the forest. At times, the author went over board describing the forest but it still was a great read and I feel young readers should be encouraged to read it.
