In Benyamin’s Silent Journeys, we trace the voyage of Mariamma, a young nurse from Kerala who traveled from her hometown in Manthalir all the way across the world. Nothing was known of her journey until many decades later, when a curious great grandson began his investigations only to stumble across a tale of great adventure, hardship, resilience, and love.
The novel reflects upon terrific stories of unaccompanied and courageous journeys that many valiant women, primarily nurses, have made through history, reaching the coldest places in the Arctic, Canada, remote tribal locations in the desert, the interiors of the dark continent, and almost everywhere in Europe  aNovel  aEnglish Fiction  aAnoop Prathapan (tr.)
