About the book
Eral is a quaint village nestled on the banks of the Porunai River of south Tamil Nadu. A small Tamil-speaking Muslim population lives here and the author of the book Jameelah was born and raised here. A debut author and someone to look out for, Jameelah pens the lifestyle of Eral's Tamil Muslim women, their traditions and practices associated with important life events like childbirth, circumcision, betrothal, wedding, birth, and post-natal care at home. She also writes about the trades in which the men were involved, their unique cuisine and attire. In short, this book offers a peep into the lives of the minority Tamil Muslim women.
