Lonely Harvest

by Perumal Murugan, Aniruddhan Vasudevan
$9.90
Lonely Harvest
Lonely Harvest

Grief, resilience, and a woman's hard-won rebirth

This feels like a quiet but devastating story that stays with you long after the last page. If you’re drawn to emotionally rich literary fiction, Ponna’s journey through loss, memory, and survival is deeply moving without ever feeling forced. Readers who love tender, human stories about women finding strength in impossible circumstances will find this especially rewarding.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

One Amazing Story. Two Different Endings. At the end of Perumal Murugan's trailblazing novel One Part Woman, readers are left on a cliffhanger as Kali and Ponna's intense love for each other is torn to shreds. What is going to happen next to this beloved couple? In A Lonely Harvest — one of two inventive sequels that pick up the story right where One Part Woman ends — Ponna returns from the temple festival to find that Kali has killed himself in despair. Devastated that he would punish her so cruelly, but constantly haunted by memories of the happiness she once shared with Kali, Ponna must now learn to face the world alone. With poignancy and compassion, Murugan weaves a powerful tale of female solidarity and second chances.
