Dilmun

About the Book

The Indus Valley Civilization is one of the most important discoveries of the twentieth century. A lot has been discovered so far regarding the physical culture, including its planned style—the cities, roads, dwellings, wells, baths, utensils, tools, mukta, metal, earthen statues—that tell us a lot about this civilization, which is the background of this novel. The plot revolves around a young woman who allegedly killed a man. This allegation is true, but why all this happened, how the interpretation of what happened in a male-dominated society, and what kind of situation the woman had to face is what Dilmun is about. Was that woman innocent even after the murder?
