Seeing the Girl-Anuradha Vijayakrishnan
Seeing
the girl is the story of three women
who live inside one another’s lives – dangerously. Janaki is poised to enter
into a conventional ‘arranged marriage’ when unanticipated events break out.
A marriage takes place; a daughter is exiled from the sanctuary of her home
while the other struggles to build a life. Then someone dies, caught in the
vindictive shadow-play of life and secrets that must stay buried. Janaki
narrates this dark and intricate story, pausing to let Amma and Leela too
interweave their versions of the truth. Yet the story never ends: the
survivors are merely tired victims who must outlive every fatal tragedy. |
