Böcker av Lavanya Sundararajan

We could have seen many women responding with an embarrassing smile to our question,"children...?". Only they can feel the pain behind that smile. Aside from the individual longing fora child, the stigmas imposed on masculinity/femininity in the family and society over infertilitycan multiply this pain. The unspeakable agony of physical and mental trauma caused by thetreatments for child birth is a separate story. Lavanya Sundarrajan's Kayampoo gives the readerthe experiences of many dimensions of the pain of infertility that the general society is notaware of. The story narrates Nandini's tragic journeys in both inner and outer worlds. Lavanyatells the story with sensitive and mature approach. The narrative does not heap complaints onanyone. One of the elements of solid fictional work is to make the readers feel the experiencesexpressed in the work as their own. 'Kayambu' is one such work.
