Book Summary
A Classic of Our Time.
Untouched by the twentieth century, Thul, the small fishing village near Bombay,
is still ruled by the age-old seasonal rhythms. Hari and Lila have lived in the
village all their lives, but their family is now desperately down on its luck.
Their father drinks; their mother is seriously ill; and there is no money to
keep them fed and clothed.
Delicately and exquisitely executed, Anita Desai’s gentle and probing story
traces the evolution of Hari and Lila into adults as each of them faces the
family's predicament - just as the first signs of industrial India creep into
their village.
