Of Marriageable Age
Main characters: - Savitri: the most charismatic character; she is very intelligent and has the ability to heal with her hands.- David: he is a doctor and loves Savitri as she also loves him; he would do anything for her. - Sarojini: she is called Saroj and she is Savitris adopted daughter; she, too, is very intelligent and stubborn.- Nataraj: He is David's and Savitri's son and has his mother's supernatural ability to heal. This is a love story but not an ordinary one since it describes the lives of four people who are ralated to one another. The plot describes four lives in two decades but these are built up chronologically. The action is quite complex since the reader does not know how the different characters are related to one another. This turns out step by step and only in the ending one can understand the whole relationship of the characters, which are very well drawn. However Savitri's perspective is presented most strongly, because she is maybe the most charismatic charakter and although she dies, she is still important for the further happenings in the story.
So Savitri goes away to become a nurse in Singapore, because help is needed since there is war. They promise each other that they will keep writing letters and David gives a golden cross on a necklace to Savitri. But he does not let them know how he is feeling yet. But Baba, her father wants her to found a traditional family once and he would force her to do so. They decide to go back to India to Nat's father and finally they do so. What she doesn't know is, that Mani has given Nat to an orphanage and that David has survived. some before they are born, because her husband beats Savitri, and one afterwards, because it is killed by someone. David and Savitri become the best friends, but Savitris brother, Mani, begins to think that it was just Savitri's fault that his mother had to leave him because of these English people. She, however, discovers then that she is pregnant, pregnant with David's child. But there, back in David's house, Saroj suddenly discovers a painting of Savitri, her mother and the young couple is desperate because they think that they are brother and sister. Again they fall in love and these are maybe the most happiest days in their lives. But then evil troops come to town and kill everybody in the hospital David has worked in. However the children grow up together because David's mother is for some reason not able to breastfeed the baby, so she calls Savitri's mother with her baby to live with her and David.
