Kamala: A Story of Hindu Life
is a classic novel of Indian literature which provides an early feminist perspective on issues of religion, class, and gender in nineteenth century India.
Written in beautiful, meditative prose,
is the story of a young girl whose idyllic youth as the daughter of a Hindu priest ends with her marriage to a cruel husband. Treated like property by his family, belittled for her education and independent streak, Kamala soon dreams of escaping married life through divorce, risking disgrace for a chance at lasting happiness.
Incorporating the author’s perspective as a woman from a family of Christian converts,
is a powerful work of fiction by a pioneering figure in Indian literature. This edition of Krupabai Satthianadhan’s
