Trial by Silence

ONE AMAZING STORY. TWO DIFFERENT ENDINGS. At the end of Perumal Murugan’s trailblazing novel One Part Woman , readers are left on a cliffhanger as Kali and Ponna’s intense love for each other is torn to shreds. What is going to happen next to this beloved couple? In Trial by Silence -one of two inventive sequels that picks up the story right where One Part Woman ends-Kali is determined to punish Ponna for what he believes is an absolute betrayal. But Ponna is equally upset at being forced to atone for something that was not her fault. In the wake of the temple festival, both must now confront harsh new uncertainties in their once idyllic life together. In Murugan’s magical hands, this story reaches a surprising and dramatic conclusion.
