Description

The award-winning Tamil novel, Kalmaram, is noted for the fine treatment of the life of those caught up in poverty and occupational hazards, pitted against the greed of the heartless rich.

The author has focused specially on women labourers. The novel takes its strength from its crisp style and its affirmative and positive attitude towards life. This work is a glorious addition to Indian fiction in Tamil.
