Welcome to Litsy!

This book holds a mirror to the lives of Kodagu people - their food, their culture, rituals, their superstitions,and their relationships - in the pre-independence era and the British influence on all of it. To me, this book is the Indian/Coorgi equivalent of China Achebe's Things Fall Apart. Loved it. The book is replete with rich imagery, all so vividly portrayed that you can visualise the life as it was from those times. A must read.
