VALLI by SHEELA TOMY (translated from Malayalam by JAYASREE KALATHIL)
Valli is the untold tale of every local who was a fighter for their land. It's a story of Wayanad's women who had had enough and rebelled against every injustice in all possible ways. It's a story of those green climbers and trees that held its people together. It's a story of the paddy crops given as wages to people enslaved by those who considered themselves masters. It's an enchanting ecofiction of the earth herself.
