The Wildings by Nilanjana Roy4 of 5 stars
Utterly marvellous tale of a colony of cats in Old Delhi. For story lovers of all ages. Highly recommended.
Linguistic note - the squirrels are named Ao and Jao - Come and Go.
The birds are called sa, re, ga, ma, pa, dha, and ni - the 7 notes (swara) in Hindustani classical music.
The Hundred Names of Darkness by Nilanjana RoyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
No sequel disappointment herein! The adventures of the Nizamuddin cats continues as they struggle through hard times.
Marvelous section telling of the love between the two eagles,Tooth and Claw.
The author's choice of names for all the animal characters is great, and the tone of voice captures their individual characters so well.
Both books are so very well narrated by Tania Rodrigues.
I can't recommend these enough!
