Bharatavas (fishermen community) are among the ancient inhabitants of Tamil. Although there are countless references in the classical literature, there are very few works on them in the modern literature. This novel comes as an answer to this shortcoming of modern literature. It depicts the lives and culture of Bharatavas with minutest details and literary brilliance. Time and death act as the driving forces behind this novel, which unfolds the history of a small fishing village over half a century, through hundreds of faces, with the metabolisms of three generations. The essence of the novel revolves around love and sacrifice. This novel portrays the great drama of life through individuals like the sea is seen through the waves.
