Karmelin, written by the Jnanpith Award winner, Damodar Mauzo, follows the fortunes of the eponymous protoganist who, let down by a drunken wastrel husband and pursued by poverty, bravely maps her own destiny. She is eventually compelled to work as a maid in Kuwait to ensure a better future for her family and to repay old debts. Mauzo weaves a moving tale of sexual exploitation, machinations within the family, caste conflicts in the Christian community, sexist Arab bosses,and above all,the bitter-sweet triumphs of Karmelin – all set in the metropolitan location of modern day Kuwait and the lush, verdant landscape of Goa. Karmelin has bagged the Sahitya Akademi award and also several other literary awards in Konkani literature.
