Anita Desai :
In general all her are vivid and this is one more nice book in the series of
1.)Cry, The Peacock
2.)Fire On the Mountain
3.)Bye-Bye Black Bird
three must read books
This Story mainly revolves around
Hari
His Father who is basically a drunkyard
Her mother - who is anemic and growing weaker day by day
her sister - Lila- who is very mature girl compare to her age
and two more of hre younger sister
and their beloved dog
There are few more characters which have positive role like Jaggu and Wrist watch maker uncle who gives Hari the best siksha that One must go on learning
because any thing you learn will be useful here or there in a positive way
This Story also explains in a very ballanced way the how poverty can impact the whole family life and how in small places even earning a small bread is so tough. there is another positive character b name "Biju" who is a little showoff guy
but good at heart and so is D souza uncle family who help Hari family at bad time .. In short story is narrated in a very very positive sense and i loved the way she has very beautifully, through her story, given an apt solution for the problem. She makes us think that life is after all beautiful,and shouldn’t be wasted.
i will put this book in Kite runner and A thousand splendid Sun category and i really enjoyed my 3 hour read . Its a slim book and out of print as of now.
