Description

Katharina Kakar's memoir of life in Goa offers a nuanced portrayal of this Indian state, moving beyond its sun-kissed beaches and vibrant festivals to reveal a complex society with deep historical roots.

The author and her husband, Sudhir Kakar, made the bold decision to leave urban life behind and start anew in a tranquil south Goa village. Ten years on, they reflect on the allure of their adopted home, as well as its hidden histories and ongoing social debates.

This book is part personal memoir, part travelogue, and part insightful exploration of Goan history and society. It presents a multifaceted picture of life in Goa, with all its paradoxes and problems, yet also its unique charm.
