The Stone Laughs Atonement (Two Novellas )

Back of the Book

“No specific reasons or relationships serve as pre-conditions for an attachment.” Gomathi and Dharmarajan are stuck in routine, everyday existence; she buried behind bank ledgers, he trying to escape the ghosts of his past. United by an uncommon bond that defies definition, their paths will intersect time and again, and show them that the absolutes they seek lie within.

In this first ever English translation of his two sequential novellas, expertly translated from the Tamil by padma Narayanan, La sa Ra Provides a narrative as racy as it’s profound, as close to philosophical truth as to real life. Part crime-story, part mystical revelation - the plot proceeds with the glitter and dark variegations of ordinary lives organically transformed, illumined by a grace beyond conjecture.
