6 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
Ponniyin Selvan is Kalki R Krishnamurthy's magnum opus, set in 10th century Tamil Nadu, exploring the early life of Emperor Rajaraja the 1st. It might have been written more than 60 years ago, but this saga is timeless, reeling in readers with a gripping plot interwoven with intrigue, conspiracies, mystery, romance and adventure. Fresh Floods is Book 1 of a total of five volumes. Who is the rightful heir to the ancient Chozha throne? Will Madhuranthakar-son of the eldest son-or Aditha Karikalan-the grandson of the younger-wear the crown? And will justice prevail in this struggle for power? Follow our young, enthusiastic hero Vallavarayan Vandhiyathevan on his fascinating journey, as this historical fiction based on real characters and incidents unfolds at a spell-binding pace, delving deep into human tendencies, desires, personal motives, political ambitions and the fight to gain power at all costs.

Morning well spent with a cup of steaming filter coffee and the exciting characters from Ponniyin Selvan. 😌

Having read historical fiction from other countries and even Northern India, I felt it was high time to come back to my roots - to Southern India.

And what a fun journey its been so far! I‘m still on Volume 1 and there are two more to go. Can‘t wait to experience this epic journey through the books, before the movie comes out.

So excited to start this. PONNIYIN SELVAN,which means the son of river Ponni, is written in Tamil (spoken in South India) during 1950s and was translated into English, it is said to be one of the best novels in Tamil literature. It has 5 parts and I would like to finish it this year!!As a north indian, I am wary of the cultural references which I might not get but I have wanted to read this for a long time.
