Description

Noted Kannada writer Vaidehi is hailed by critics and readers alike for her evocative portrayal of the inner world of women. She writes with deep compassion and understanding about women who live amidst sorrow and poverty but somehow find the strength to go on living. She focuses on the ordinariness of their lives, writing about the midwife turned gatekeeper at the town's new cinema, the half-crazed woman who thinks she's pregnant, the compulsions of an honest but poor man's wife, or the upheaval caused when a girl confesses to her neighbour that she wants to be a prostitute. The stories, which are full of wry humour and acute social description, celebrate the joyous fact that 'A wave once created only grows bigger and bigger; it can never recede'. In this collection of twenty stories, the translators capture the subtle nuances of Vaidehi's stories and their multiple ambiguities, bringing her to a wider readership.
