Trial by Silence (One Part Woman Book 3)

I read 'One part woman' by Perumal Murugan last year and it is still fresh and lively in my heart. The ending of this book was open. I wanted to know more about Kali and Ponna's life. 'Tried by Silence' is one of the sequences of it. Yes, there are two possibilities, Murugan has penned down for its sequel. When Kali got to know about the Ponna's visit to temple festival, he shattered and tried to kill himself to punish Ponna but his mother stopped him. Ponna is equally upset for the betrayal by her family where they tricked her to attend Madhorubagan festival. She slept with a man in the Temple in the hope to have a child and assumed that this was happening with Kali's consent. She breaks all her relations with her parents and brother for this falseness. The intense love between Kali and Ponna takes a place of fury in Kali's heart. He breaks all the knots with Ponna by keeping mum. But here these two women Seerayi (Kali's Mother) and Ponna become stronger, confident and take charge of all household work without Kali. They represent how a woman can change herself in any situation. The way Kali was portrayed in 'One part Woman' is very different in this book. Here this loving Kali turned out to be annoying.As per Murugan's all books, this book is also having an open ending which I loved. His writing is raw and keeps you engaged in Kali and Ponna's world.Being silent sometimes really saves the relationship or makes it worse? Get the answer of this question from this beautifully woven book.

I was really curious to read as i did not expect the ensing of one part woman. I am glad i did.I started reading this immly after one part woman. Had to take a break due to other commitments, but when i restarted it felt like i never lost the plot. It does drag a little bit but story moves at almost the same spees throughout and as usual it picks up pace at the end.

Content is superb, but issue with the physical quality of the book. Too bad, wid Street Market quality for the cover n printing. Had purchased this same book last month and had received a good piece. But this timez it's total waste of money. Really disappointed with the seller

It is such a fantasic work done by Perumal Murugan. It shows us the bond and love with husband and wife. And also Murugan says life will go on throught some difficut situation but love will remains. In deep i side when it will come out we dont know..

How many books can we say depict a love story based in a village with all it's earthiness intact? This sequel to One Part Woman is a winner all the way. Classic Murugan.
