About the book
'Anju Thingalil Munjuthal Pizhaithum' (Survival struggle) is a novel written by M.A. Susila, a senior translator and author. She weaves this novel around a couple of independent career-oriented women and how their lives get intertwined. The protagonist, a senior gynaecologist by profession, suddenly shuns her clinic and leaves for a distant village. Her first test tube baby, who grows up to be a fine doctor, searches and locates her. What transpires next, makes this contemporary woman-centric novel interesting.
