One Part Woman by Perumal Murugan

4.0

I've been wanting to read Perumal Murughan for a long time and the hook didn't disappoint. It explores the relationship between a couple in love; sexually fulfilled, yet yearning for a child. The many relationships have been etched really well, and the book brings out the tensions of everyday rural life. The end seems slightly anto climatic, and yet is the only end which would have made sense. Would certainly recommend it to a slightly older reader who will probably be able to identify with some parts of it.
