Book review on VBTS

Village by the sea is a book which mainly talks about the life of Hari as well as his family. Hari is a boy who comes from a very poor family. He later goes with the villagers of Thul to Bombay to protest about the new factory that was going to be built in Thul. However, later, he was left alone in Bombay and started to earn money there. Later, he goes back to Thul with his earned money and discovers that his sickly mother has been cured and his father had turned over a new leaf.

This novel is like a fairytale where the protagonists 'live happily ever after'. 5 themes can be found from this book mainly benefactors, poverty and wealth, urban and rural India, family and change and adaptation. Therefore, I found this novel very entertaining as I read on about Hari's adventure.
