Скачать или смотреть സുഗന്ധി എന്ന ആണ്ടാൾ ദേവനായകി || Sugandhi Enna Andal Devanayaki || Malayalam Book Review

Read TD Ramakrishnan's novel, Sugandhi Enna Andal Devanayaki. It is written in a style similar to his earlier work, Francis Ittykkora - blending history, myths, folktales and the Present, creating a very interesting book that we would want to finish reading in one sitting. The history-fiction thread in the book follows the eventful life of the fictional character Devanayaki, who was the daughter of a trainer of martial arts at Kandalur during the tenth century. The other thread, set in present day, follows the attempt of a group of film-makers to make a feature around Dr Rajini Thiranagama, human rights activist who was murdered supposedly by the Tamil Tigers. It is interesting to see the author finding parallels and establishing linkages between the two time lines.
