Description

Gendethimma: Teller of Tales- is a novel that has been rated by informed critics as the most mature work in fiction by the author.

Conflict between traditional rural ways and the ethos of growing urbanity forms the focus of this novel. Gendethiumma, 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 twangs throughout the novel.
