This book offered a deeply emotional experience. The story itself is hard-hitting and thought provoking. The audio quality is pretty good and the sound effects are effective without being intrusive.Just a minor complaint: The accent given to Hilda's character just didn't sit well with me. Hilda is presented as a white woman from the US. It is understood that she speaks English although her lines are written in Kannada. The fake accent was distracting and borderline annoying. Despite the minor squabble, I highly recommend Kannada readers to give this a shot.

Must read

Poignant, touching, simply fantastic. Excellent audio rendition.

ಇಂದಿನ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣಕ್ಕೆ ಹಿಡಿದ ಕನ್ನಡಿ ಹಾಗಿದೆ. ಶಿಕ್ಷಣದಿಂದಾಗಿ ಕಾಳಿಂಗ ತನ್ನ ತಾಯಿ ಹಾಗು ತ ನ್ನ ಪರಂಪರೆಯಿಂದಾ ದೂರವಾದ ಸಂಗತಿ ಹಾಗು ಹಸುವಿನ ಮಹತ್ವ ಈ ಕಾದಂಬರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಬಂದಿದೆ.

Excellent!Another classic from SLB. Audio narration is top-class. Many thanks for presenting this book in the most original way possible.

Good book

Great Great, I read it twice. Kamadhenu Kateya mundina bhaga annabahudu

Enjoyed listening to this book enacted by a number of talented narrators giving authentic feel to various village accents, especially to a non-Kannadiga listener like me. Technical production is superb. However, the story plot is regressive and extremely orthodox.
