The Love queen of Malabar" tells the story of Madhavikkutty . The award winning author Merrily Wiesbord spent 10 years with Madhavikkutty to prepare this book. Here Madhavikkutty talks frankly about her life, love affair, conversion to Islam and her life after conversion. "I am tired of being Suriya. I want to be Madhavikkutty again" ...but she didn't fearing reprisals from Muslim groups. A person is free to choose or leave a religion but Madhavikkutty had death threats from Hindu groups after conversion to Islam. Later she experienced the same from Islamic groups for speaking up her mind. She also talks about her husband who had sent her to superiors and minister for promotions in the banking sector. She became celibate at the early age of 45 because of disgust with her husband Das 's homosexual behaviour which he kept throughout their controversial marriage. Madhavikkutty's "My Story" was a controversial book but that only said half the story. Here in this book we read her own version of her life. So Madhavikkutty is triumphant over everyone who tried to control her life through religion etc. This is the last and definitive version of Madhavikkutty 's life.
