A Stranger in My Own Country – K. R. Meera’s “Kalachi”
K. R Meera is an acclaimed Malayalam author. Her work explores themes relating to patriarchy, discrimination, and individuality, focusing on the inner lives of women and challenging traditional power dynamics. Her new novel, ‘Kalachi‘, is now open for pre-booking.
“It was the realization that I had neither the power nor the right to love or to hate on my own that brought me to tears. I had only the privilege to choose between the two that were permitted to me. Like a refugee denied the right to vote no matter how many generations lived in the adopted land, I remained an incomplete being within that grand mansion of arches and ornate pillars.
The story of those who awaken one day to find themselves strangers in their own homeland — this is the essence of K. R. Meera’s latest novel, Kalachi.
Now available as a beautifully designed Collector’s Edition, personally signed by the author.”
