In this poignant, bittersweet memoir, K. M. Mathew recounts the joys of his marriage of sixty-one years to the accomplished, warm-hearted Mrs K. M. Mathew, popularly known as Anamma. This intimate account of a husband’s love for his wife is equally a revelatory glimpse into the lives of two highly influential figures. At the helm of the giant media empire, Malayalam Manorama, the Mathews established an entire social ethos and paved the way for a new, forward-thinking generation.
Written with great simplicity and beauty, the book creates a vivid picture of the vibrant, adventurous and generous spirit of Annamma: author, expert cook, chief editor of Vanitha, dedicated social worker, beautician, teacher, administrator, leader, political activist, musician, aesthete. Above all, it is a celebration of a beloved wife, mother and friend, the story of one woman’s love for her community, and of a life that ‘spread sweetness and light’.
