Description In Pursuance Of Books Mistress

When travel writer Christopher Stewart arrives at a riverside resort in Kerala, India to meet Koman, Radha's uncle and a famous dancer, he enters a world of masks and repressed emotions. From their first meeting, both Radha and her uncle are drawn to the enigmatic young man with his cello and his incessant questions about the past. The triangle quickly excludes Shyam, Radha's husband, who can only watch helplessly as she embraces Chris with a passion that he has never been able to draw from her. Also playing the role of observer-participant is Koman; his life story, as it unfolds, captures all the nuances and contradictions of the relationships being made—and unmade—in front of his eyes.

Evaluate Based On Books Mistress

I really liked how this book brought to life the ancient art of Kathakali around the lives of well drawn characters whose struggles resonate. Never before did I hear about this ancient Indian art and so this was a pleasant surprise for me. There were too many plots in this novel which was at times confusing and annoying. But even though, I enjoyed how it was written in different voices so that there is a connection with each one of the characters rather just with a single narrator.

Was not too impressed. The story moved at an incredibly snail-like pace. However, I still like the author's style of character building - she really has a gift in it. She takes the time to introduce each character, their past and their thoughts. By the time we finish the book, we really feel like we're leaving a group of people with whom we've become quite close. However, the plot and story itself do not carry as much substance. My first Anita Nair book was Cut Like Wound, which I fairly enjoyed



A passably good blend of heated passion and the short lived intensity of it forms one thread of the tale. It is interwoven with the tale of a kathakali artist whose ups and downs in life forms the spine that holds the tale together.The nine rasas (emotions) that make up the art of Kathakali are dealt with in detail and given more depth from the perspective of the characters themselves. Kerala itself plays a major character for the tale and develops itself as the tale progresses.Passably good

Does deception begin with a single lie or it begins much before, when you feign an almost non existential bond with the person you are living? How much of deception is about lies and how much of deception is about truths you are afraid of facing on a daily basis, when you eat, sleep and breathe? And what happens once the mechanics of deception sets in? What happens when, once the feeling of euphoria caves and the guilt sets in? What happens when suddenly you discover that the person for whom you

I was ranting and raving about this book while in the initial half. But, as with many such books with promising starts , things started fizzling out at the end. End was dragging and just tolerable, so what I supposed would turn out to be a five star book, woefully became an ordinary 3 star one. The theme is Kathakali, an ancient kerala dance form, and about a man who has devoted his life to the same, though he is only a parallel character in the story. His niece Radha and her cousin-husband

Mistress, one of Nair's most provocative books, is both Postmodern and Postcolonial. Anita Nair lets each character tell his/her own story, their haunting tales are suggestive of the personas they use as a screen; guile, deceit , betrayal, trauma and angst unfold the myriad emotions that they battle with ; Konam guides Chris, a young photographer focusing on Kathakali, through a medley of rasas elaborating on each with a story from either his past or his niece, Radha's present dissatisfaction.
