A good not-to-be-missed book especially if you are a novice in historical fictions considering the limited number of pages!

The first of the trilogy of Kalki's historical magnum opuses, 'Parthiban Kanavu' boasts the richness of the Tamil Nadu and its people during the reign of Chola and Pallava dynasties. Written in a simple and lucid style without compromising the parlance of the language, this book is the best starter for anyone new to Tamil historical fictions.
Though the story is simple, Kalki has interwoven the plot with everything the reader can dream for: beauty, harmony, gallantry, romance, satire, shock, horror, suspense,sensation, thrill, rivalry, fame, sacrifice and morale. The characterization is brilliant and the plot cleverly synergizes historical events and creativity to portray a brilliant story.
