Kamalakshi Amma, a middle-aged village women, who had prayed for a child for years and years, who had undertaken penances, visited all the temples, who knew anxiety and the angst of hopelessness as time passed and she grew older, who could now turn only to the all-forgiving and omnipotent nature herself. Thus , it is nature that fills this novel with her mighty presence : Sethu.
