The novel explores a woman's role in society and how selflessness can be a curse rather than a boon. It explores how in order to fit the societal norms, the person loses sight of what they want and suffer the most in the end. Balakumaran, through his impeccable storytelling and well-developed characters, shows us that self-sacrifice isn't what it is shown to be. Instead, we must also pursue our happiness. The novel makes you think about yourself and those around you who have sacrificed their time and their dreams trying to do what is best for you. Purchase the novel from Giri UK.
