ONE PART WOMEN
Description
WINNER OF THE ILF SAMANVAY BHASHA SAMMAN 2015 Kali and Ponna's efforts to conceive a child have been in vain. Hounded by the taunts and insinuations of others, all their hopes come to converge on the chariot festival in the temple of Maadhorubaagan, the half-female god. Everything hinges on the one night when rules are relaxed and consensual union between any man and woman is sanctioned. This night could end the couple's suffering and humiliation. But it will also put their marriage to the ultimate test. A superb book in which tenderness, love and desire kindle each other into a conflagration of sexual rapture' BAPSI SIDHWA 'The most accomplished of his generation of Tamil writers' CARAVAN TRANSLATED BY ANIRUDDHAN VASUDEVAN
