The part I like in Village By The Sea

Village By The Sea is a book describing about the rural life of an Indian family. The part I like most in this story is when Hari's father turned over a new leaf and stopped his bad habit of drinking. The story starts with a poor Indian family which the mother is ill and the father is a drinker. The son, Hari, and the daughter, Lila, had to take over their parents' role and stopped school. Having an ill mother and two younger sisters to take care, life is not easy for Lila as well as Hari, having to earn money to support the family.

The change happens when Hari went to Bombay for a better life. The mother became more ill and the situation is getting worse. This is when the father turns over a new leaf. After the mother is recovered and Hari earned enough amount of money, the family members lived together happily.
