Review: At Home in Two Worlds by Maria Aurora Couto

“For Couto, the Goan is so intrinsically linked to the land that Goa’s very identity is informed of this bond. She is convinced, ‘the cultural strength of Goa lies in what politicians of all stripes describe as Goenkarponn, its uniqueness. This singularity is due to its history and, equally, its landscape: the undulating land, the sea, the rivers, hillocks, paddy fields, and coconut palms alongside mango and cashew groves’.” (Shutterstock)
