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.

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.
