Description
Chemmeen tells the story of Karutthamma's love for Pareekkutty, despite her marriage to Palani. The bond between them is tested by the 'sea-mother' myth that believes a fisherman's safe return depends on his wife's fidelity.
The novel explores the complexities of their relationship and the societal pressures they face. Anita Nair's translation brings this powerful tale of love and longing to a new generation.
