Short stories
Shree Raman, or Maash as he is known, leads a quiet life in his village in Kerala where nothing ever happens. Until one December dawn, when the ducks and the little duck girl, not so little any more, return to the village after several years of absence and light up Maash's life again.
The year is 2019, the Indian Parliament has passed the Citizenship Amendment Act and the question of identity-- especially religious identity--is at the forefront of everything. Suddenly, everyone wants to know: who is this duck girl, where does she come from, who does she pray to? In a matter of days, Maash finds himself in the middle of a conflict he couldn't have foreseen.
Set in Kaikurussi - the near idyllic village which Anita Nair introduced to readers worldwide in her first novel The Better Man, The Little Duck Girl is a state-of-the-nation story that sensitively but unflinchingly explores the idea of who we are as a people.

Such a soulful story... Loved it. Classic Anita Nair... breathing in life to characters and making them so life like, within few pages. The story is short, yet so profound n engaging that one can get lost in the village setting in Kerala n the ruffle a political decision can bring in to simple lives in a sleepy village.

HeartwarmingThought-provokingWhat a heartwarming tale on retirement, religion, relationships and roasted duck eggs. Beautifully written and the narration was just the right kind of laid back manner, essayed so well by Prakash Raj, that I could actually picture him as Raman Maashu in this sleepy near idyllic village of Kaikurrosi.
