I really wish this book becomes compulsory reading for every class 12th student of history. This is what living history would mean. A brilliant translation of the diary of Vishnu Bhatt Godshe by one of my favourite authors- Mrinal Pande.
I have seldom been moved by a book like this one. Set in 1857 UP, MP this true story of a Maharashtrian Brahmin in search of his daily bread is chilling, moving, riveting, philosophical, hair raising, informative and an eye-opener all at once. I think this is only the 2nd (5/5 rating) by me.
Rating: 5/5
Read Kim's Review of this book.
