The title Ponniyin Selvan literally translates to “Son of Kaveri / Cauvery” – Ponni is another name for the Cauvery river, and it is one of the best historical novels ever written in the Tamil language as it isn’t just an imaginative tale, but rather a historically accurate tale with little creativity.

One thing I've learnt from reading this book is that everyone has a point of view and that we should not be judgemental about anyone. At first I hated the character Nandhini for all her doings. And then there came a part where the author justifies (atleast from her point of view) her actions.
