Kamala: A Story of Hindu Life

Kamala: A Story of Hindu Life is a classic novel of Indian literature which provides an early feminist perspective on issues of religion, class, and gender in nineteenth century India.

Written in beautiful, meditative prose, Kamala: A Story of Hindu Life is the story of a young girl whose idyllic youth as the daughter of a Hindu priest ends with her marriage to a cruel husband. Treated like property by his family, belittled for her education and independent streak, Kamala soon dreams of escaping married life through divorce, risking disgrace for a chance at lasting happiness.

Incorporating the author’s perspective as a woman from a family of Christian converts, Kamala: A Story of Hindu Life is a powerful work of fiction by a pioneering figure in Indian literature.
