Married at ten - and widowed at 18 - Sivakami must wear widow's whites, shave her head, and touch no-one from dawn to dusk. She is thoroughly orthodox except for one defiant act - she moves back to her dead husband's house to raise her children. That decision sets the course of her children's lives, in suprising and heartbreaking ways.
