841 - MS Subbulakshmi

This book gives an overview of Subbulakshmi's life right from her childhood to her death. Her love for music took her to great heights and gave her a chance to meet special people in her field as well as other fields. It describes her part in the freedom struggle very well. Excellent artwork. Engaging book.

A young Subbulakshmi is raised in a house of musicians. Her mother is a noted Veena player and always supportive of Subbulakshmi's musical career. But, it takes a huge turn when Subbulakshmi falls in love with Kalki Sadashivam, who was already married and had a daughter Radha. Though Subbulakshmi had no children of her own, she loved and cared Radha more and would take her to all her concerts.

The wide range of her achievements and honours can also be found in the book.
