Recently I read a book called The Village By The Sea. It is a story which happens in India, in a countryside named Thul. It starts with Lila praying by the nearby sea. As the story goes on, we can know about her family background(her mother severely ill, her father permanently drunk, and her two sisters, Bela and Kamal, who were still at school), and how she envys rich people.
Because of the illness of her mother, Lila had to do all the housework herself. Hari gets the task of earning the money and keeping the family alive. However one day, Hari ran away to Bombay in desperation and Lila is left to do all the things necessary for the family to strive.
I felt pity for Lila, who has to do many uneasy jobs. If you read the actual story you will realize that this story might be a bit boring at first(that feeling comes to me too), but slowly if you understand the story you will start to recognize what the story is telling you, and you will soon think that this story is interesting.
