No praise is enough to convey what this book says. On surface it's a social themed book but it's a entertaining one. It makes you see it all through eyes of the kids. Hence it makes people feel like kids.
Every description of culture, people, architecture, food and even clothing is discovered and made to look differently. Immense description ranging from kathakali to communism in Kerala to pickle making and to what not. It is one of those pieces that you read once but will remember with incidents and progression.
Ending is what catches you off-guard.
Irrespective of the ending conclusion because, there is no conclusion, the book is devastating story, wrapped in perfectly wrapped flowers of prose and poetry and luxurious descriptions.
