Kindle Deal: Poonachi by Perumal Murugan
The old man, a poor lower-caste farmer and goatherd, and his generous wife immediately welcome the tiny goat, whom they name Poonachi, into their homes and she becomes the centre of their lives.

A scrawny goat that's bullied and has it rough. Unfortunately, the book fails to tell a meaningful story. It tries hard to make Poonachi a sort of innocent, naive observer of human nature and what life actually means, but its efforts come off as weak and entirely unconvincing/5.
