Tiger Hills by Sarita Mandanna
Tiger Hills is an epic love story set in Coorg from the author Sarita Mandanna. It is a debut novel though her control of her narrative doesn't let you feel it. It's all the more creditable because she is narrating a love triangle, not a likely material for gripping stories in this age and time. We've had enough of love stories, right? Wrong, Sarita Mandanna gets things right – despite it being her debut novel and the fact that she is narrating a love triangle.
Commendable Restraint by the Author
The readers are kept engaged in the prose throughout by Sarita Mandanna with a restraint which does not come easy to debutante writers. The love of Devi is all consuming but Sarita Mandanna does not let it go out of control. The epilogue is the only problem which shows Sarita Mandanna's desperation to some extent where she reveals things which she shouldn't have. She belongs to Coorg and she lets it show through her masterful narrative in Tiger Hills.
The Gritty Heroine
The author of Tiger Hills, Sarita Mandanna is a PGDM from IIM and MBA from Wharton Business School, she still sticks to Coorg since that is where she is comfortable. Her protagonist Devi has decided to correct the wrong that has already happened in her life, her marriage with Devanna. The love of her life is Machu – the tiger killer. Devanna is very intelligent but a meek creature who comes back from medical college because he couldn't face ragging. Devi continues to woo Machu, making him break his vow, and she pushes Devanna to commit suicide. Does he succeed?
Devi Is Destiny's Child
Devi believes she is the destiny's child, and she is gritty when she confronts the love of her life head on – be it her love for Machu or Devanna's love for her. Even when Machu gets married after retreating from their illicit relationship, she continues to be devoted to him. When Machu dies in the Afghan battlefield, she brings home the son of Machu and brings him up as her own. In this way, is Devi taking revenge on her family members who forced her to marry Devanna?
The Book Is More about Suffering
In the end of Tiger Hills, the readers realize the book is more about facing difficulties than love itself. The missionary Hermann Gundert gave his all to the mission Devanna … but to no avail – so this is the story about his suffering as well … apart from the suffering of Devanna who is insulted by his wife all the time. Devi also has to accept the fate in the end, the way it is, despite the valiant fight that she puts up against it.
