Aruvadai

R. Shanmugasundaram has written over twenty novels, many of which can be categorised as novellas. Aruvadai, or Harvest, holds an important place among them. After a decade long hiatus, Shanmugasundaram started writing again, thanks to writer Ka.Na.Su's incessant pressure - the result of which is this book. It combines the inspiration and freshness of a new writer. The way in which the inner struggles of the characters are depicted, and having a woman's perspective makes the novel relevant and captivating even today. Coming back to light after years, this under-appreciated is sure to make waves.
