One April, thirty-year-old Aniruddhan goes to the police station with a complaint: a woman named Mudritha has disappeared. He has, however, never met her; only interacted with her on the phone and by email while organizing, at her request, a tour to Odisha for herself and nine others - all women. After preliminary inquiries, though, the case is likely to be closed for want of progress. But Vanitha, the policewoman in charge, continues the investigation secretly. What begins as a search for Mudritha soon reveals more about the other women, a diverse group, who want to slip away, travel and touch the world beyond the mundane confines of their existence.

 

Review

'Mudritha is an intriguing palimpsest of narratives of women and rivers, journeys and disappearances, loss and self-discovery, with echoes and resonances of myth and legend. The nuanced translation by Jayasree Kalathil successfully conveys the subtle inflections and silences of Jissa Jose's writing.' - NAMITA GOKHALE
