Vodka Sambar ~ Mary Zareah 34 of 25


The cover promises many things with all its color. A journey, secret and beauty. The name of the book - Vodka Sambar is so striking in a unique way. The book takes us to the mountains of Gilgit - Baltistan in Pakistan and a special minority community there in Kalash Land. I think the access is restricted even for Pakistanis.they have Mahadeva ,Indra & yama as gods.  Many Pakistanis are unaware of their existence.


A major part of 'Vodka Sambar' takes place in Pakistan. May bet hat's the reason the artist used this cover art as there is a mention of truck later in the story,  may be that too was painted like this? Well the story begin in South India - Bangalore, travell in time and end in London. Curious? Read on.
