This is one of the best book which I have read in my lifetime. The story mainly emphasises on the Chola Kingdom. The word style used in this book is one such that none of us will ever find it boring. It is now about to be made as a movie by Maniratnam.
Though the story revolves around Arulmozhivarman later known as RajaRaja chola1, Vanjithevan is the main protagonist of the story. It says more about the historical events which most of us dont know.
