The Gospel of Yudas by K.R. MeeraMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a English translation of KR Meera's original Malyalam book Yudasinte Suvisesham . I have not read the original book in Malyalam, I wish I knew Malyalam, , but I found this English book very good.
I story of the book is about Yudas and Prema. Yudas is a formal or still a naxalite and is always in the guilt of revealing the names of his naxal friends during police interrogation. Prema is a daughter of a policeman and has a crush on him and tries to smooth his life but every time she tries to reach Yudas he moves on leaving her behind wondering.
The book has a bit of philosophical touch as well. and gives brief idea of how Police brutally crushed the naxal movement of Kerala in 70s.
The narrative is gripping and I didn't put this book down before finishing it. The end of the book was expected.
I rate this 4/5.
