Sarita Mandanna’s debut novel, Tiger Hills, is an
epic love story set in the undulating hills of late 19th century
Coorg. In the news for reportedly receiving the highest advance ever for a
debut novel by an Indian writer, it was an eagerly awaited book by jurists.
Spanning five decades, the book unravels the tumultuous life and star-crossed
love story of Devi, the protagonist characterized as destiny’s child. Described
as a cross between Gone with the Wind and The Thorn Birds, it
serves as a curtain raiser to the richness of the culture that defines all
things Coorg. Mandanna has created an emotionally complex world against the
backdrop of coffee plantations, local villages, their age-old traditions and
social pressures.
