Malayalam translation of Taslima Nasrin's French Lover. It is the story of Nilanjana, a young Bengali woman from Kolkata who moves to Paris after her marriage to Kishanlal, a restaurant owner. A woman's search for love and independence in a strange city. The mental conflict that takes place between two cultures, even when two persons are in love, has been beautifully captured in the novel. Taslima effortlessly describes an independent-minded character who declares independence from a patriarch (male chauvinist?) she loves who claims dominance over a woman and her womb. As in her other books, a woman's proclamation of personal independence is the main theme of "French Lover."
