Resh Susan aka thebooksatchel, greatly enjoyed this novel, set in a town unlike Murugan’s other novels set in villages. Estuary explores contemporary life while making a witty commentary on our education system, the race to get into a good college, private engineering colleges treating students as robots and not humans—no talking with students of the opposite sex, concentration tips to study better. The book also paints an astute portrait of a father-son relationship, explores the technological divide and fears that haunt the older generation, and looks at bridging the generational gap.
