review 1: Deserves so MUCH more than random impressions hastily jotted down, but for now, this will have to do:Jayakanthan, yet again, questioning societal norms - Way before its time - A supremely disturbing conclusion, will haunt me for quite some time - Characters etched out with all their flaws: the mother, brother, mama.. grey, everywhere - the theme of self-destruction running through the story: overt, in Prabhu's case, too deeply ingrained, in Ganga's caseMore, hopefully later, preferably after a second read!
review 2: Great book.The epilogue of this book was shattering, of course, but right from the start, this was a literary phenomenon Tamils should be proud about. Jayakanthan has expressed his gall in questioning the principles men have constructed around them ... morein the name of the society and how lives of people yearning for independence from those trifles dissolve into oblivion. Forty years have passed since this book was written but people have not changed much yet from the characters JK envisioned in this work, in my opinion. This very fact vaporized the huge span between the times when this book was written and when I read it.My suggestion for any reader of this book would be to enjoy it and stop not with that but to try to shed off the prejudice we associate with the Gangas of the world. less
