: Perumal Murugan’s One Part Woman deftly interweaves many complex emotions such as love, marriage, intimacy, duty, ritual, superstition, infertility, sexuality and betrayal to tell the tale of a rural couple. Ponna and Kali is the victim of Indian society. On the other hand Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀’s Stay With Me deals with almost the same questions in Nigerian society. Yejide and Akin suffer in the same manner. Though the culture is different but the beliefs, traditions and superstitions are same at different levels. Both novels add a new perspective to the still taboo subject of conception, and explore the intricacies of parenthood as well as the pressures of tradition and stigma. Both are breathtaking and tragic books about marriage, family, and the lengths one will go to bring a child into this world
