This was on my to do read list for a long tym but I was little hesitant seeing the volumes but once you start the book yu never want to keep t down. Yu ll really wonder whether this book belongs to 1950s.so many twists and turns. You ll travel along with this book n surly everyone ll miss the characters once the book s over.my favorites r kunthavai, Nandini, arulmozhivarman,vanthiyathevan, poonguzhali.you ll feel like reading again to travel again. tats really an golden era
