'A major Indian writer' New York Times
'A captivating story of love and desire' Vivek Shanbhag, author of Ghachar, Ghochar
Kali and Ponna are perfectly content in their marriage, apart from one thing. They are unable to conceive. With local gossip and family disapproval mounting, the increasingly desperate couple consider a more drastic plan. They will attend the annual chariot festival, a celebration of the half-male, half-female god Maadhorubaagan.
