Book Review:
‘The kids will wake up’.
‘Oh ,no! They will not be waking up.’
She promised her kids, her dead kids, ‘we have to leave him before he can abandon us.
We have to purify your father with the pain of separation.’ And that she did . With
tonsured head and poisoned heart she became the Meera, Meera mai of Mathura and
wait for her vengeance for long twelve years to meet desolated, abandoned, paralyzed
Madhav. Her vengeance was complete and she just seek for wounds for her own.
‘I needed wounds. To hurt myself more grievously, I needed more wounds.’Critical approval: Dark humour and deep pathos loomed large in every pages of the novels and the feeling of agony crawls with the ants that set their track through the pages of the book, the corpse eater. If Madhav is the Krisna figure ,Tulsi must be the
embodiment of gopis ,though she aspires for Meera. In respect of character portrayal, knittly connected story line, everlingering tone of anticipation the novel richest its highest paradigm. The ending subdued the emotion tormenting throughout the novel, at first raising it to catastrophic height of pity and fear and then dimmed in blood and pain.

My opinion: From the beginning to the end the novel keeps me glued in my seat. As I read, I bleed, bleed for Tulsi, for thousands Tulsis, for Kanna and Unni two kids of Tulsi.
It is a powerful story that wide opens all the locks of emotion giving one utmost pleasure
and pain at the same time.
