| 12 linked stories that start in Kerala and end in Quebec. They begin in small village on India's Malabar coast. The Variyars are a traditional matriarchal family, large and close knit, their children numerous and spoilt and life revolves around the temple. The family and its fortunes are described through the perceptions of its various members, particularly the younger ones. Blues from the Malabar Coast describes the life of the family, dominated from dusk till dawn by the old grandmother in the kitchen.
Joyful, poignant and sad, this wonderful collection tells a story in its many stories, of a village and its people. |
