Kanthapura by Raja Rao

2.0

The story at the heart of Kanthapura is an extremely eye-opening and emotional one. Set in a small Indian village during the Gandhian movement for independence, the narrator of the story recounts the trials and the unfortunate lack of triumphs of the villagers as they try to fight for independence. As much as the story moved me, the narrative structure was quite a struggle for me and made the reading experience overall a bit tiring. This story will stick with me for a good while and it has given me a lot of food for thought, but I can't say I will read this one again or be recommending it to many.
