5.0
Initial thoughts -
1) Thought provoking
2) subtle caste class commentary in the first half that becomes a significant theme in the second half
3) Must be absolutely awesome reading it in Kannada.
4) Ends abruptly. I wish there was more.
5) Juxtaposition of personal and political, mundane and extraordinary
A pretty good book club pick. There are so many things to discuss, it becomes difficult to review.
I had picked it up as a part of #translatedgemsbookclub #crimefiction theme for January'24.
