About the Book: One Part Woman
Kali and Ponnas efforts to conceive a child have been in vain. Hounded by the
taunts and insinuations of others, all their hopes come to converge on the
chariot festival in the temple of Ardhanareeswara, the half-female god.
Everything hinges on the one night when rules are relaxed and consensual union
between any man and woman is sanctioned. This night could end the couples
suffering and humiliation. But it will also put their marriage to the ultimate
test.
