{"product_id":"9789350292723","title":"Chemmeen : The Enduring Classic","description":"First published in 1956, Chemmeen tells the story of the relationship between Karutthamma, a Hindu woman from the fisherfolk community, and Pareekkutty, the son of a Muslim fish wholesaler. Unable to live with the man she loves, Karutthamma marries Palani, who, despite the scandal about his wife's past, never stops trusting her, a trust that is reaffirmed each time he goes to sea and comes back safe since the  'sea-mother' myth among the fishermen community goes that the safe return of a fisherman depends on the fidelity of his wife. Then, one night, Karutthamma and Pareekkutty meet and their love is rekindled while Palani is at sea, baiting a shark ... The hugely successful novel was adapted into a film of the same name, and won critical acclaim and  commercial success. Anita Nair's evocative translation brings this classic of Indian literature to a new  generation that hasn't had the opportunity to savour this tale of love and longing.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175550632176,"sku":"9789350292723","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789350292723_p0.jpg?v=1763673554","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789350292723","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
