About The Book:

This compelling collection of short stories offers a vivid portrayal of Gangi, a woman whose beauty becomes the talk of the village. As Gangi steps into womanhood, her enchanting beauty captivates the hearts and minds of all the villagers. With her curvy figure, fair complexion, and striking features, she becomes the subject of admiration, envy, and gossip.

The villagers, both men and women, find themselves mesmerized by her presence. Even after days, her beauty continues to haunt their thoughts. While her physical features, such as her nose and the greenish mole on her left cheek, are not perfect, they add to her allure, becoming part of the fascination that surrounds her. Her distinctive way of parting her hair sets her apart from every other woman in the village, making her a unique figure who is both admired and envied by all.

As the men of the village, unable to resist her charm, indulge in endless gossip about her, Gangi's beauty becomes a symbol of unattainable perfection. Despite the gossip and speculation surrounding her, one thing is clear: for the next ten years, no other woman in the village will rival Gangi in beauty.

The stories in this collection delve into the complex nature of beauty, desire, and the social dynamics it creates, offering a thoughtful exploration of how appearances shape relationships and perceptions in a small village.
