Son of the Thundercloud by Easterine KireMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Review
A beautiful folk story. Plot set in Nagaland and reader can be already feel the places the way they narrate it. Those who also read Easterine Kire's 'Don't Run, My Love' novel can feel acquainted with the land, Spirit-tiger and culture of Naga.The narration makes it read in a single sitting. Reading tales from other parts of our own country is important and we must take especially the folk tales to every one.
