500			_aA Village Before Time is a deeply moving and passionate memoir of T N Venugopalan where the author reimagines a lost world, its everyday people, their many celebrations, unique practices and cultural ethos. The book is an honest exploration of the author's childhood years in a quaint, unassuming Kerala village near Kochi. A non- linear narrative, A Village Before Time transcends literary boundaries and in his simple yet lucid language the author paints a vivid picture of village life skilfully intertwining with historical context. The characters, places and events are drawn from the fabric of everyday life creating a compelling narrative. This memoir is not just a personal recollection but a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Kerala. Here is a non-fiction, where the characters and situations come alive, that can be read like a work of fiction.
