Life overseas is a peculiar state of life. It happens knowingly or unknowingly and often becomes a necessity. Mohammed Ali Mankadavu presents the life of Karunakaran Nambiar, an expatriate, in a way much different from the general run of expatriate novels. This book of love, care, and hope is one of the must-read types of exquisite expatriate novels.
Mohammed Ali Mankadavu is a writer from North Malabar, settled in the Middle East. His stories in Malayalam largely reflect the agony and nostalgia that the expatriate Keralites are subjected to. Mohammed’s first novel, Munthaya, was originally published in Malayalam, and it unravels the profound existential crisis and emotional tragedies faced by an unskilled rustic youth on an alien land. His stories realistically unearth the inner turmoil that the migrant workers in the dreary deserts of West Asia face. Simplicity, tenderness, and sympathy are the salient features of his stories.

Was waiting for the English version of “Munthaya” as I find it bit difficult to read Malayalam, can very well say that the wait was worth it.The book takes you through the life of the protagonist from his hey days till he’s retired. Through his life in the Middle east ,the author gives you a vivid description of his struggle in a Arab household and how he survives and earns the respect and love of the family he’s working for.The author has clearly shown us how life for some in the Middle East can be a struggle. It is surprising to know that this book is the first for the author because you can sense an experienced writer in the novel. Looking forward to more books from him.
