I think this magnum opus needs multiple read to get the most.This gem is not for starters and it is little hard to read also(felt the same way while reading"To kill a mocking bird").I had a hard time visualizing Khazak and needed a re-read.This is the story of Khasak and be prepare for some out of the box writing.During the read we will be living with Khasak and its strange,funny,dark,lovable villagers.Missing Appukili.
