“ … I started reading with much hesitation… A charm ran over me throughout, alluring me.  The novel chained and crumbled me…  I finished reading within two to three hours.  The moment I finished reading it, I felt excited and shocked wondering about the creator and the creation of the novel… Thooppukkaari wrings, squeezes and rinses the mind of the readers… Tamil will relish wearing Thooppukkaari as a jewel.”

“A novel inspired by a tale of toil… Malarvathi, the first Tamil woman writer to bag the Sahitya Akademi’s Yuva Puraskar Award …”

“… Malarvathi unveils the emotions through  a myriad style and choice of diction say, dialectal language, structured poetic and prosaic passages that pierce like a needle, charm the readers and leave them mesmerized … the tactics that she employs has won her fame…I feel happy to call her ‘My Literary Heir’”
