Jeyamohan’s memoir is an expression of yearning for his father’s affection, a recollection of his matriarchal lineage, an interesting critique of the cultural changes of the land he was born in, and an exploration of the nuances of languages, myths, and romance. It is an engaging, moving, and deeply intriguing view of the life and the mind of “a representative of the hoary literary tradition of South Travancore” and a poet who writes in prose.
