Set in early 20th-century rural Karnataka, Scion is a work of greatsocio cultural importance, chronicling the intersecting lives of ahandful of highly intelligent, sensitive, and emotive characters—alltorn apart, brought together, and then torn apart again underextraordinary circumstances.A complex and stunningly woven tale of diverse human characters, theirinnermost desires, struggles, grief, and joys, the novel explores theconcept of polygamy, re-marriage (in a time when it was a socialtaboo), death, grief, devotion, celibacy, reverse narratives ofmotherhood, Oedipus complex, self-sacrifice or lack thereof,betrayal, forgiveness, and transcendence and resurrection.The novel, while creating knotty human characters, explores largerphilosophical and existential questions about being human, right andwrong, and community versus individual freedoms and choices.Scion is a major literary feat, and Bhyrappa is a master raconteur,displaying all his talents at their best.
