Kamala, a beautiful, self-possessed 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 phone booth, and

almost immediately, becomes the object of his lonely, consuming passion. He's

a drifter, educated but jobless, low on self-esteem, 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 Kathe-this is a

compelling and unsettling study of obsession. It is an unforgettable work by

one of India's finest and most powerful writers.
