Summary, etc Perumal Murugans tender yet truthful essays capture the life of a strong, independent and extraordinary woman: his mother. She raised her children with the income from just a few acres of land that she managed on her own, tending to the cattle and crops with maternal concern, all the while minding her unruly husband. Every obligation met, all accounts squared up, each meal cooked to satiate the tongue and heart—Amma never rested, not even when bedridden with Parkinsons. She lived a farmers life and died a farmers death. Amma is a homage to a way of life and values—simplicity, honesty and hard work— lost to us today. Peppered with unsentimental nostalgia and delightful humour and vividly documenting village and farming life in the Kongu region, Amma tugs at generational memory.
