Saroja and Kumaresan are young and in love. After meeting in a small southern Indian town where Kumaresan works at a soda bottling shop, they quickly marry before returning to Kumaresan's family village, where they hope to build a happy life together. But they are harboring a terrible secret: Saroja is from a different caste than Kumaresan, and if the villagers find out, they will both be in grave danger. Faced with venom from her mother-in-law and questions from her new neighbors, Saroja tries to adjust to a new lonely and uncomfortable life, while Kumaresan struggles to scrape together enough money for them to start over somewhere new. Will their love keep them safe in a world filled with thorns? In evocative prose, Perumal Murugan masterfully conjures a moving tale of innocent young love pitted against chilling violence.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Grove Press, Black Cat","offers":[{"title":"Pyre | Perumal Murugan | Quality | 9780802159335 | New | Fiction 1402011","offer_id":50559830982914,"sku":"1402011","price":29.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/41jOQ1W56NL.jpg?v=1790690962","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/pyre","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
