"The sweet salt of Tamil" by Tho Paramasivan translated from the original Tamil by V. Ramnarayan.

Tamil is the world's oldest surviving language and is spoken by about 90 million people. The author writes so well, you feel like you're chatting with an old friend. The OG version of the book in Tamil, titled Ariyappadatha Tamizhagam (the hidden Tamil country), is a good read too, but a friend gifted me the English version, so this week I'm enjoying the English version of a beloved book.
