The story revolves around a family which has been toiling to make a living for years. Deserted by a lecherous father-Vasudevan-, who had been running around making new families, the family gets molded in such a way the women in the family end up being misandrists. The wife- Lalitha and Children- Raahul, Devaki and Sona- have least respect for the rogue of a father.


A parallel plot of four culprits escaping from the prison by bribing the officials, add spice to the plot. The way authoress interwove the two plots is brilliant. Two of the prisoners Amir Khan and Raja start a fake firm to pursue their drug trafficking business. They conspire against Raahul and by hook and crook, brings Raahul and Sona to their office as their employees in the pretense of helping a poor family. The story becomes interesting when the two plots crosses and a third plot of a commissioner who indulges in a clandestine investigation against a corrupt minister who was a goon and presently hands in glove with anti-social and anti-national elements.


The story is fast paced and surely engages the readers. There are a lot of current scenarios depicted in the book. The eyeopening message conveyed in the book does not seem forced. The general theme of the book is feminism and at some points a little over the top misandry. However it has been mentioned that the negative assessment doesn’t include even men. The part including Sona was unfortunate and could have been put forth in a different way. This night be a biased view of a mother but I wanted to see the family react differently to her plight.
The narration is excellent and the dialogues added cherries to the cake. I was awestruck to see how, authoress at her age, came up with dialogues that are new-Gen.
