Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Suvash Mohan’s narration in ‘Pyre’ is nothing short of exceptional, adding layers of emotion and nuance to the already rich narrative. The story of Kumaresan and Saroja's forbidden love unfolds with a haunting intensity that keeps you on edge. Mohan's performance is particularly effective in capturing the characters' inner turmoil and the tense atmosphere of their village. However, at times, the plot’s complexity might feel overwhelming without clear signposting. Still, the audiobook's production quality, combined with the power of Murugan's writing, makes 'Pyre' a must-listen for fans of literary fiction and Indian literature.
