About the Book:
"The Village by the Sea" by Anita Desai is a classic of our time, offering a poignant and beautifully written story set in the small fishing village of Thul, near Bombay. Untouched by the advancements of the twentieth century, the village still follows the ancient rhythms of nature, a place where life moves with the seasons.
The story revolves around Hari and Lila, two children who have spent their lives in the village but now find themselves in a difficult family situation. Their father is an alcoholic, their mother is gravely ill, and the family is struggling to make ends meet. The narrative delicately follows the children's emotional and psychological development as they face these challenges. Their journey into adulthood unfolds as the first signs of industrial India begin to touch their village, bringing change to their once-stable world.
Written with Desai’s signature elegance, the novel explores themes of poverty, family dynamics, and personal growth, all set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing India. The author’s compassionate storytelling allows readers to connect deeply with the characters and the village they call home, making this a truly unforgettable read.
