💥Book Giveaway (Day 2)💥 Mili, the narrator of Amla Mater, moves from her village in Kerala to the city of Chennai. The moment she steps off the train, she is surrounded by a language she doesn’t understand and she begins to feel invisible. Her landlady, Padma Paati, insists on talking to her in Tamil, asking a million mundane questions about her day and irking Mili in the process. Soon, she realizes she can understand the language and she grows fond of her nosy landlady. We are celebrating Amla Mater all weekend with a book giveaway (open worldwide)! All you have to do to enter is - 1. Tell us about your experiences with a new language in a place far from home. 2. Tag a friend (or friends) who helped you survive the first days of moving to a new city. 3. Follow us, if you don’t do so already. That’s it! If you participated yesterday, we would still love to hear from you. You will get an extra entry in the raffle for being awesome!
