The novel takes place in a small Indian village and tells about the life and customs of the Brahmin caste. The new realities of today's world are difficult to penetrate into the rigid caste system of India, but still changes occur, and we have to cope with them. The book is interesting from the inside view, from the person who is built into this very system. A very worthy thing that will definitely appeal to those who want to better understand this amazing country and its people.
