The fact that Kuvempu himself states that the entire novel in fact is “ಮಲೆನಾಡಿನ ಜೀವನದ ಕಡಲಿನ ಒಂದು ಹನಿ” makes you wonder if the detailed description in these 591 pages is a mere drop then how unbelievably beautiful would the whole sea of malenadu and it's life be.
What made me fall in further love with kuvempu is that he has infact connected the only two novels penned by him.I had read malegalalli madumagalu before kanooru heggadati and the fact that kanooru story is after the madumagalu in timeline gives the whole evolution of the life in malenadu a wider perspective.
Loved the depths of details that Kuvempu jumps into to bring out the life of malenadu in all its pomp and glory.
