About The Book
Authill is a rollicking celebration of the lives of the Christian migrants in north-east Kerala fifty years ago. Their struggles, superstitions and indiscretions are culled and painted in enigmatic yet vivid images. The boisterously funny description of the teenaged cashew smuggler's first brush with carnal knowledge in the arms of Goddess Bhavani is a case in point. Vinoy Thomas's prose is a marvel-redolent of sugarcane fields and cashew trees. It has a rustic beauty about it. A good read and a sensual delight'
