A book that draws you in it's atmosphere in the village of Madpur and the characters. When you finish it, you'll wish the author could write another for you to read, but unfortunately she has not. It's been over 21yrs since The Buffalo Thief, and if she never writes anything else, this assures her a place among one's favourite authors. Such a simple, heartwarming, and engrossing tale, fresh and beautiful. You will love Amma and her granddaughter, the buffalo and Raman.
