In TheDaughters Of Madurai, a fascinating fictional narrative based on reality, debutante author Rajasree Variyar takes us through the small town to delve deep into the world of female infanticide and a rigid caste system that can wreak havoc with women’s lives. We dissect how she explores these subjects with a new-age perspective… HELLO!: You were born in Bengaluru, grew up in Australia and now live in London. How is your understanding of Indian traditions so strong?

My debut novel, The Daughters of Madurai, is only the second piece of novel-length fiction I have written.

A reader’s expectations of a short story are a powerful single concept, easily consumed in a single setting.
