About The Book

Aruna, the protoganist of the novel is an educated financially independent middle class woman in modern society. Suppressed at her parental home, she seeks her freedom in her eloped marriage with Prakasam. However, Aruna soon becomes disillusioned. Her new found happiness can come only at a price. That of relinquishing her individuality. Her space and body become a casuality. One of the most controversial novels of its time, Sweccha, through its protrayal of Aruna, brings for the first time a feminist perspective to Telugu literary discourse. Taking up their common place issues that confront woman in everyday life, the novel takes a hard look at the reality of freedom that women enjoy in modern society. A significant novel from modern Telugu literature.
