I was reading Sarat saahityam for first time. Each writer has a unique style. It is interesting to read this book. As this is referring to a time period typically hundred years back, when marriages take place at very tender age, specially for girls, people die with TB etc., etc., It may turn out be strange to read about moral values prevailing, how people behave under different circumstances those days etc., etc.,. Overall these books help you in understanding human psychology better. Makes a nice reading but beware these are not Yandamuri/Suryadevara (suspense thrillers)!
