People do not accept infertility as normal. The couple is almost socially excluded. They have no public space. They are unable to participate in rituals. They are not even allowed to caress a baby. This is a novel about the lives of Ponna and Kali, who are neglected like so. The story takes place in the middle of the twentieth century. The rule-making community also gives some space for irregularities. The novel focuses on the relationship problems faced by the couple, who use one of the community-sanctioned practices.
Written in 2010, the novel received much attention. Demands to ban the book arose in January 2015 after its release in English. There were enough persecutions to get the novelist to declare that 'the writer is dead'. The judgment of the Madras High Court revived the writer and made the novel available to the reader again.
