About this book

Conflict between traditional rural ways and the ethos of growing urbanity forms the focus of this novel. Gendethimma, a simple and itinerant trader, is torn between the age-old customs of his family and the intriguing and somewhat unsettling changes his fashion-conscious bride brings. Events, both collective and personal, parallel the deep sense of unease that echoes throughout the novel.
