Girl Made of Gold by Gitanjali Kolanad
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The book revolves around a set of devadasis in a village near Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu. The richest man had lived with the elder devadasi and now is living with her elder daughter. He sets his eyes on the younger one even though there is a suspicion that she maybe his daughter. The younger one helps out with the pooja at the temple.
One fine day she doesn’t appear and instead there is a exquisite golden statue in the sanctum sanctorum. The story jumps around through various timelines through eyes of various characters to unveil the disappearance.
An ok read.
