Raja, a little boy whose father passed away with an estate left behind as a bequest, is the main character of The House Of May Flowers: A Tale From Kodagu by Geetha Kariappa. His mother had transferred him to live with his uncle, which caused him a lot of problems in life. He lived and worked for them there under subpar circumstances. But if one wants to, one may find happiness even in the most difficult circumstances. He made a friend with whom he played tricks on and stole fruit. He picked up some crucial life lessons and learned how to work hard. Even though he was content, his heart always yearned to be near his mother. Then, one letter changed everything. He could feel it coming. Now it was his job to manage the estate. We witness a great deal of character growth and the introduction of new roles in the second part of the narrative. But because life is just transient, we leave behind all materialistic ideals and only carry love and memories with us.
This book did a fantastic job of illustrating certain unpleasant but true facts that we frequently attempt to ignore or hide from but which are actually extremely common, especially when it comes to matters of money. It also demonstrated how, except from a select few, no one is capable of betrayal. It was a really emotional experience to read about Raja's transformation into the man he became and the circumstances that shaped who he was, from a sad little child who seemed to have no idea of what was going on around him.
The word choice and storytelling style are fairly straightforward. The novel had a fantastic flow, and once I started reading it, I found it impossible to stop because of all the intriguing turns it took. The author did a fantastic job at writing everything. Every feeling has been accurately expressed. Highly suggested.
