Idris - a monumental best seller
This book is a marvelous piece by Anita Nair - definitely one of her best! Its a book that one wishes to finish in one sitting. Anita's words have a warm visual quality and at times sensual. And thus it takes one back in time, which feels like a seance.
The tremendous amount of research she has done in every aspect(including Astronomy) makes the book a very realistic experience.
A story, beautifully told of love, family, travel, trade, customs, relationships, set in historical, medieval K...

Lighthouse!
Love all of Anita Nair's books so far and was wondering how a historical novel would fare. Like all history books, thought this would be boring, but it had me glued from the word Idris!
A very well researched book, that throws light on southern India in the later part of the 1600's. The bonus, it is weaved into a well written tale. If all history books were written like Idris, it would have made many of us want to take up history studies in college. The names of the characters: Idris, SalaPo...
