Chemmeen (novel) Chemmeen (Malayalam: ചെമ്മീൻ , cemmīn ] , lit. prawn) is a Malayalam novel written by Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai in 1956. "Chemmeen" tells the story of the relationship between Karuthamma, the daughter of a Hindu fisherman, and Pareekutti, the son of a Muslim fish wholesaler. The theme of the novel is a myth among the fishermen communities along the coastal Kerala State in the Southern India. The myth is about chastity. If the married fisher woman was infidel when her husband was in the sea, the Sea Goddess ("Kadalamma" literally means Mother Sea) would consume him. It is to perpetuate this myth that Thakazhi wrote this beautiful novel. It was adapted into a film of same name, which won critical acclaim and commercial success.
