She And I Kamala, a Beautiful, Selfpossessed and Fiercely Independent Widow,

Kamala, a beautiful, selfpossessed and fiercely independent widow, comes to a village, where she has been given a job on compassionate grounds, with her two daughters. She meets the narrator for the first time at a booth, and almost immediately, becomes the object of his lonely, consuming passion. Hes a drifter, educated but jobless, low on selfesteem, and his love will become a derangement. He will seek debasement, he will rage and inflict violence, and eventually set in motion a desperate plan that might destroy both Kamala and him.Translated with brilliant skill from the Tamil original En Kathethis is a compelling and unsettling study of obsession. It is an unforgettable work by one of Indias finest and most powerful writers.
