Water Days: Book Review of Sundar Sarukkai's Novel

Imagine a story about how a city speaks, not with words, but with the sounds of rain, the chatter of people, and the smells of the street.

'Water Days' is a book set in old Bangalore, where a man tries to be a detective while also dealing with his wife and neighborhood problems.

The story follows a man who tries to open a general store, faces a chit fund scheme, and investigates the death of a young girl.

The book shows how the city is changing, with different cultures meeting, and explores themes of language and identity, and emphasizes the importance of empathy.
