Portraying the myriad facets and nuances of the lives of Tamilians, the author, Balam Sundaresan, offers a garland of short stories in this collection. She paints a colourful canvas of themes ranging from romance, to social inequality, restrictive gender roles, superstitious beliefs and traditions, and the joys and challenges of familial bonds and relationships: the contrasting love stories of a woman and her granddaughter in two different time periods, a young actress who gains too much weight, a father’s love for his distant son, or a young man’s search for his mate. Balam’s style is an engaging mix of crisp dialogue, gentle humour, and compassion. Though the characters and settings are primarily Tamilian, their appeal is universal. Together, these tales blend like the dishes in a sumptuous South Indian feast, each one adding a distinct flavour to the rich, colourful banquet of life.
