Description

My Love, My Endless Bliss is an English translation of T. Janakiraman’s Tamil novel Anbe Aaramudhe. A reluctant bridegroom runs away on the eve of his marriage. After thirty years, as a monk, he encounters the lady whom he was supposed to marry. The novel sketches the course of their unconventional friendship. It has a parallel track of several layered characters, who in their own independent ways take bold decisions to lead a life on their own terms. The author in his signature style interrogates questions of right and wrong and finds virtue in the cracks between socially acceptable and unacceptable norms and values. It was serialized in a popular magazine in Tamil in 1960 and published in 1965.
