I don't even know how to put this in words. This book broke my heart multiple times, but also healed it again.
I learned so many things about Southern India's culture and history, medicine, religion, life, ... and all that from a perspective I don't usually encounter. What I loved the most where the strong women. Elsie will have my heart forever.
