Synopsis A story, a history, a mirror held up to today’s foibles, men and women described with that unerring eye for detail, the essence of the way India lives. Katha takes great pleasure in presenting to you A. Madhaviah, writer par excellence. A sparkling translation by Meenakshi Tyagarajan with superb illustrations from none less than M. Krishnan, the well-known wildlife photographer and spokesman for nature. This hugely enjoyable novel is introduced by A. Madhavan.
