Madath Thekkepaattu Vasudevan Nair, popularly known as M. T., was an Indian author, screenplay writer and film director. He was a prolific and versatile writer in modern Malayalam literature, and was one of the masters of post-Independence Indian literature. Randamoozham, which retells the story of the Mahabharata from the point of view of Bhimasena, is widely credited as his masterpiece.
At the age of 20, as a chemistry undergraduate, he won the prize for the best short story in Malayalam for Valarthumrigangal at World Short Story Competition jointly conducted by New York Herald Tribune, Hindustan Times, and Mathrubhumi. His first major novel, Naalukettu (The Legacy), written at the age of 23, won the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award in 1958. His other novels include Manju (Mist), Kaalam (Time), Asuravithu (The Demon Seed), and Randamoozham (The Second Turn). The emotional experiences of his early days went into his novels, and most of his works are oriented towards the basic Malayalam family structure and culture. His three novels set in traditional tharavads in Kerala are Naalukettu, Asuravithu, and Kaalam.
Nair was a screenwriter and director of Malayalam films. He directed seven films and wrote the screenplay for around 54 films. He won the National Film Award for Best Screenplay four times, for: Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha (1989), Kadavu (1991), Sadayam (1992), and Parinayam (1994), which is the most by anyone in the screenplay category. In 1995 he was awarded the highest literary award in India, Jnanpith, for his overall contribution to Malayalam literature. In 2005, India's third highest civilian honour, Padma Bhushan, was awarded to him.

This is yet another masterpiece by my favorite author. Here M.T. tells us the story that created a major problem in their family.
When M.T.'s father returns from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) with a young girl, it becomes a huge controversy in his family. He said that it was his friend's daughter who had to face unfortunate events due to the war in Ceylon at that time. But many people thought it was not his friend's daughter but his own daughter born in a relationship outside of wedlock.
The unique chemistry and silent communication between the beautiful young girl and the author are marvelously conveyed by the author. This is one of those books by M.T. that you should never miss if you are a fan of his works.

It is my first story written by the famous M.T.Vasudevan Nair, who is a very well-known author. I listened to this book and it transported me back to the incidents mentioned in the book. The author has beautifully conveyed how the atmosphere at home changes due to some incidents and how it affects him, the child like innocence is very evident in the writing.
