Kerala, the 1990s. Mini Balachandran is a homemaker. But with both her father and brother dead in an accident, she is left with no other choice but to come on board as the managing director of Dhanwantari Herbal Products Limited, their Kochi-based Ayurveda company. One day, out of the blue, covert attempts at a takeover are discovered. Dhanwantari's shares are being bought at a furious pace; the players-unknown.

Tensions simmer. The company must be saved. A battle is at hand.

Perhaps the most admired financial thriller ever to be written in Malayalam and winner of the 1993 Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award, K.L. Mohana Varma's Ohari is an epic, edge-of-the-seat tale about what it takes for the feisty Mini Balachandran to fight an aggressive takeover bid. Translated skilfully into English by Ministhy S., it is a gripping ride through the greed and guile that drive the stock market and a celebration of the indomitable spirit of women who refuse to bow down in a sensational game of wits.
