Aa Maratheyum Marannu Marannu Njan: And Slowly Forgetting That Tree (Oxford Novellas)

The powerful memory of a former love rules Radhika's inner world as she builds a small-time practice in Law and attempts normalcy in a marriage she neither wanted nor resisted. Raped at age ten, raped again as a young collegiate, she is abandoned twice: first by her father and later by Christy who loved her but takes her through a wedding ceremony only to leave her later the same day. When Christy returns sixteen years later, shattered and unstable, the burnt and withered roots of love bloom again. Trauma, betrayal and loneliness are the colours that paint this picture of physical and emotional violence that Radhika endures.
