Chronicles of an African Mallu
()
About this ebook
This entertaining read describes the upbringing of a first generation Indian-African, narrating the experiences of a Malayalee who grew up in different parts of Africa. A crash course on Malayalees and insights into some of their typical attributes, traits and prejudices gives the book a unique essence. An endogamous group, misconceptions of Africa and the delightful state of Kerala are also highlighted. The pressures related to academics and life partners, the stress experienced by Malayalee parents regarding their children and important conversations such as the birds and the bees (that are conveniently excluded in Mallu families) are guaranteed to have the reader in stitches.
Manjusha Sunil was born in Kerala. She spent the first ten years of her life in West Africa, followed by a short stay in Lesotho. She currently resides in Johannesburg, South Africa. Chronicles of an African Mallu is her first book. The frequent comments from family, friends and colleagues on her sharp wit have been the encouraging factor behind this book.
