5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the greatest books ever written in English,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grateful to Life and Death (Hardcover)
The second of a series of novels written by R.K. Narayan, who created an entire fictional city and then filled it, book after book, with its people. Also known as "The English Teacher," in U.S. editions, a young man begins a traditional arranged marriage, but soon loses his wife to illness. As the protagonist attempts to penetrate the border separating life and death, seeking reunification with his wife, and attempts to care for his son, the reader is guided through Narayan's fictional world and into the depths of the hero's heart. Searing but inspiring for any reader facing the loss of a loved one. A masterful transition from Narayan's charming first novel, "Swami and Friends," about a young boy's adventures. Also recommended: "The Guide," ironic comedy about the rise of man who is mistaken for a seer.
