MALGUDI DAYS by R.K. Narayan.
R. K. Narayan is among the best known and most widely read Indian novelists. His book Malgudi days is just enchanting.
This book is the chronicles of the lives of people in a town called Malgudi. It shares the lives of entrepreneurs to beggars even dogs. R.K. Narayan's writing style is simple but elegant. The stories are funny, emotional or bittersweet and remind us that life really is all these things.
There are 32 stories and my favourites are Engine trouble, The willing slave, Father's help, Selvi.
It is really great how R. K. Narayan shows the life of common people in a captivating way and with vivid details. The only thing I didn't like was that some stories had an abrupt ending.
No bookshelf is complete without Malgudi days.
