The Salt Doll – Molly Daniels Ramanujan

Description

Mira Cheriyan is both actor and witness in The Salt Doll. When she is part of the action, she is the salt doll which dissolves in the sea and loses identity. This, according to Mira, is the feminine way of experiencing. When she witnesses and reports, she is like quicksilver; she touches everything while remaining untouched. Alternating between these two modes, Mira, the protagonist and storyteller, tells a dazzling, savage, sophisticated tale.
