A Handful of Rice (1966) is the fifth novel by Kamala Markandaya. Set in the 1950s–1960s urban setting of Madras, it is thematically reminiscent of her debut novel, Nectar in a Sieve (1955). Markandaya, at home with social realism, depicts the stark parallel between life in a village and the city and the disillusionment of youth.
