Chittansaritam', which stirs with aesthetic imagery unknown to today's generation, records not only the story of several generations but also the culture, values, and above all, the tragic biography of the Jaffna Tamil community. Every character, including the wind and the moon, is sculpted with elegance.

In its narrative breadth and mastery, 'Chittansaritam' compels us to compare it with Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart'.
