This is the story of the Melekat clan: Ammini Amma, the matriarch of the family, her large brood of offspring and descendants. A wannabe journalist in search of the perfect story, a girl in search of a husband, a woman in search of a reason?any reason?to leave her husband?each character arouses curiosity. There is love, laughter, betrayal, hurt, anger, meetings, partings, even a chatty ghost, in this fluid and engaging narrative.
