“Anyone who spent childhood summers at a grandparent’s house will feel at home in this Kerala village. Fair warning: you may want to phone your own grandparents afterwards.”
A young man, a grumpy grandfather and a village with no internet.
A Hundred Little Flames is a moving family novel about a young man's unexpected stay with his grandfather in Kerala.
Ayan, whose home is in Bahrain, is sent to live with his grandfather, Gopal Shanker, in a sleepy Kerala village, and he is crushed. His domineering father, Jairaj, has plans of his own and is set on getting his way. Soon grandson and grandfather must face hard truths about greed as life takes unexpected turns.
