SynopsisA Harvest of Ecstasy is the heart-warming story of the prestigious Kollegal family belonging to the picturesque village of Puthupady in Northern Kerala. The novel traces the fortunes of Thomachan and his family who own one of the richest and most successful estates in the region. Thomachan is heartbroken when his son shows no interest in the estate and its functioning, or in his lovely and talented wife Molly. The ageing Thomachan hires Vasudevan, a young Hindu agricultural graduate, to manage the family’s properties. Gradually Vasudevan comes to occupy a very special place in Thomachan’s heart. He takes on the full responsibility of running the estate. When Thomachan decides to bequeath his land and assets to Molly, he is confident that she will have Vasudevan’s unstinted support in handling the affairs of the Kollegal Estate.
