Vast in scope and intricate in design, this is a novel of rare ambition. Moving effortlessly between the intimate and the historical, it follows generations of lives to illuminate the making of modern Keralam.
Road novel, family saga, regional chronicle, social history, dystopian parable: the book inhabits all these forms while remaining confined by none. Through a multitude of voices and destinies, it charts Keralam's passage from the twilight of colonialism, monarchy, feudalism, and agrarian life to the promises of independence and social reform, and onward into an age defined by consumption, enterprise, and radical individualism.
Both deeply rooted in place and universal in its concerns, this is a work of remarkable breadth and moral imagination-a powerful account of how history enters ordinary lives, and how ordinary lives, in turn, become history.
