The Step Child: Angaliyat, Prologue by Dr Gogu Shyamala by Joseph Macwan, translated by Rita Kothari, is a powerful work of fiction that brings marginal voices and lived realities to the foreground. This English edition invites readers into a moving literary world shaped by identity, belonging, and social inequality.
Thoughtful and emotionally layered, the book explores family, exclusion, and the search for dignity with quiet intensity. If you enjoy socially grounded novels that stay with you after the last page, The Step Child offers a compelling reading experience rooted in human struggle and resilience.
