The Criminal At Large

₹250.00

THE CRIMINAL AT LARGE is a nontraditional story of feminism that attempts a definition of woman through a series of thrilling episodes narrated in an arresting style and language that keep the reader spell bound. Chhaya, the female protagonist in the process of becoming a woman experiences the impact of different male touches including that of brutal bestiality. She never gives in to anything; she challenges the legal system, asserts a prestigious social position commanding love and respect; yet the question about what she is remains unanswered.
