The Saga of the Cactus Land: A novel that comes from the very soul of the writer, a book that germinated within the innermost recesses of his heart and exploded into this brilliant, heart-warming, gentle and yet scorching tale of his family's life in the inhospitable dry lands and the experiences of his people when everything that they owned and cherished was suddenly lost following the construction of the Vaigai dam, which resulted in their village finding itself deep down on the river-bed of the Vaigai. The story revolves around the central character of Peyathevar, a quintessential good man, hard-working, unremittingly honest, strong, manly and yet with the capacity to break down and cry, as also the incredible will-power to pull himself up and fight. His relationship with his grandson Mokkarasu, a very salient element in the novel, is a throbbing vein of tenderness and love that runs through the story. The simple, hard-working villagers lose their beloved land, on which they had lived, loved, ploughed, weeded, harvested, played and procreated - in short, spent their entire lives. They become refugees in their own country. The story of these innocent, largely unlettered people comes vibrantly alive because the characters are based on real people and because of the compassion and empathy that permeate its telling. 'The mud of this earth is our food...it is our medicine' says Peyathevar at one point. But alas, that mud becomes the underwater grave of the village of Kallikkadu.

Agneyam tells the story of Nangema, a Namboodiri woman forced to leave her native home in Palghat due to poverty. She journeys alone through the perilous paths of Wayanad and creates a life for herself and her family in that wild land. She was a real person, not a figment of Vatsala's imagination. Living in Wayanad, she carved out a life for herself, but as events unfolded, she returned to her native Palghat, stayed with her daughter, and died peacefully. Vatsala knew her intimately and was inspired to write her exhilarating and tragic life story as a novel, "AGNEYAM." Vatsala is one of Kerala's leading women writers. Through her, the real Nangema becomes an artistic marvel - a woman born into luxury but falling into poverty; brave enough to change her life by moving to Wayanad, working as a cook, running a small shop, and eventually owning and cultivating land. An independent and courageous woman, aided by the untamed land. This is their story. But it is also the story of the Kurichia bonded labourers, the original landowners, and their helpless, fearful, and impoverished existence. Vatsala crafts this story in her unique, feminine, compassionate, lyrical language, writing with complete empathy for her protagonist. The result is a significant literary work from a historical, sociological, and literary perspective, always emphasising the woman's point of view. Vatsala has authored many novels and short stories, but this novel stands out for its lyrical language and powerful depiction of an independent woman. The translator, Vasanthi Sankaranarayanan, is a student of literature, cinema, theater, and dance. Her doctoral dissertation focuses on "Malayalam Cinema, Society and Politics of Kerala. " As a native of Kerala with a deep interest in Malayalam literature and women's studies, this is her third translation of a Malayalam novel- her previous works being "Agnisakshi" by late Lalithambika Antarjanam and "Brashtu" by Matampu Kunhukuttan.
