Description
A young doctor in Kerala, Jezebel finds her carefully built life colliding with the brutal limits of a patriarchal world—limits that no education, ambition, or resolve can fully protect her from. When her divorce proceedings spiral into a courtroom battle, the testimony she gives becomes a doorway into the private history behind her marriage, her choices, and the secrets that others insist on defining for her. Framed as a courtroom drama, the novel traces Jezebel’s evolution from guarded and dutiful to fiercely resistant, asking what it really costs for an independent woman to live without being judged, policed, or punished. With hypnotic, incisive prose and resonant biblical allusions, this translation by Abhirami Girija Sriram and K.S. Bijukumar turns sexuality, gender roles, and power into a charged, unforgettable reckoning.
