Book Summary
The Old Man & His God is a collection of humane, beautifully told stories from Sudha Murty that illuminate the daily lives of villagers, slum dwellers, and ordinary people across India. Blending social realism with warmth and practical wisdom, these tales invite readers to see the world through the eyes of others. Written in clear, accessible prose, the book speaks to adults and thoughtful readers who savor stories of resilience, generosity, and the quiet heroism of everyday life.
The collection is a series of stand-alone stories that move with a gentle, conversational rhythm. Murty draws from real-life experiences—communities banding together after natural disasters, families making do with limited resources, and women shaping their identities in societies that often overlook them—to offer portraits of humanity that are both honest and hopeful. The interwoven threads of technology, tradition, and compassion show how progress and kindness can coexist in everyday life. In The Old Man & His God, Sudha Murty brings these moments to life with warmth.
Whether you enjoy reflective fiction or absorbing social portraits, these pages introduce a cast of memorable characters, vivid settings, and a pace that invites contemplation. You’ll meet villagers and city dwellers, elders and young professionals, each navigating choices that reveal the complexity and resilience of the human spirit.
After finishing The Old Man & His God, readers gain a deeper empathy for people from different walks of life and a renewed sense that small acts of kindness can illuminate a whole community. Sudha Murty's storytelling leaves you feeling hopeful, thoughtful, and reminded of the enduring value of humanity.
