Publisher's Synopsis
Aagayathaamarai is a novel by Ashokamithran, a pioneer of Tamil literature. With Water Hyacinths as metaphors for human dreams, Ashokamitran paints a story of our reality in contrast. The novel is of the happenings that change the life of an youngster named Ragunathan. It is also a portrayal of urban middle class life in general. Through a mix of internal dilemmas and events happening, the novel talks about social-economical relationships, the hierarchy within them. Ashokamitran's magic works in its best and the reader hears an unassuming and kind storyteller's voice, when they read it.
