This book sounded so similar to another book I read about a married couple in Tamil Nadu called One Part Woman. Not just the setting and plot but similar in the exceptionally subtle satire/social commentary. Turns out (unsurprisingly, in retrospect) they’re both by Murugan and translated by Vesudevan. Have you read it?
Haven't read it. But after reading your comment, I read the plot and it sounds fascinating and heart-wrenching rather than satirical. I guess that shows the importance of tone when it comes to interpreting events.
