- W2471442315 abstract "Jectar in a Sieve this first novel of India (which) recalls in its savage JL power and authentic atmosphere the great novel of China: Good Earth. (Mehta 1968:25)William Walsh describes Kamala Markandaya's work as being ...notable for an unusual combination of range and intimacy. (Walsh 1990:115) Kamala Purnaiya Taylor who wrote in the name of Kamala Markandaya stands tall among the Indian women writers in English, for her deep sympathy for the toiling unprivileged masses. Her novels have a linear structure without a sub-plot but the action runs swiftly and the plot construction is quite significant. range of the themes in her novels is quite vast. The theme of hunger (Nectar in a Sieve), the theme of love and class conflict of mal-adjustment (A Silence of Desire), the poverty and love in poorer sections of Calcutta Society, the tension caused by gigantic dam building with its impact on the people (The Coffer Dams) and the poor plight of immigrant Asians (The Nowhere Man), all these make a colourful kaleidoscope of beauty and design. (Mehta 1979:293) The novel, noted Nageswara Rao deals with the peasants, their activities, problems and anxieties, hopes and expectations and joys and sorrows. (Rao 1991) It has a striking resemblance with K.S. Venkataramani's Murugan the Tiller but whereas Murugan the Tiller is idyllic in its best analysis, Nectar in a Sieve does not idealise the Indian village but exposes its real depravities. It is a grassroot novel very pungently harping on the fact that natural beauty and idyllic life are unable to counter the hunger and starvation following the failure of crops. novel Nectar in a Sieve has a linear structure with no sub-plot or suspense. It is Rukmani's story narrated by herself confined to her own life only. story of her hard peasant life illustrates the truth of" @default.
