Sudha Murthy’s Grandma’s Bag of Stories is a lovely collection of stories. Sudha Murthy’s novel is like the warm sun you want to feel on a chilly winter morning. It will uplift your soul and spirits, fill your heart with desire and pleasure, and transport you back to a simpler and more enjoyable time in your life.
It’s a collection of 22 short stories told by Ajji to her grandchildren Raghu, Meenu, Anand, and Krishna, as well as their neighbours. During their summer vacations, the grandchildren visit their grandparents. Grandma tells the stories over the course of seven summer days and nights in her small village, while the children play. As a result of the stories, they are delighted, educated, and happy for several hours. Their grandparents’ home is surrounded by greenery and open space, away from the hustle and bustle of city life on the one hand. The stories Ajji would tell them throughout their visit, on the other hand, are most exciting to the children.
The grandmother’s morality tales are short and to-the-point. The value of hard effort and honesty, being down-to-earth, being helpful and humble, content and loyal, having presence of mind, and unconditionally loving people are among the topics covered in these stories. All of the stories will make you feel hopeful and satisfied, just like your grandparents did when you were a kid. As you will remember stories for a long time, the narrative is really strong. The tone is friendly and nice. The novel is written in such a way that it evokes nostalgia in the readers.
