SAREE by SU DHARMAPALA
For those who don't know what is Diwali, it is a festive day for the Hindus. Since I will be celebrating Diwali (or also known as Deepavali), I thought I should find a good book that is suitable for the day. As you can see, the cover is very beautiful and so is the story.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYNOPSIS
Nila wasn’t born beautiful and is destined to go through life unnoticed… until she becomes a saree maker. As she works, Nila weaves into the silk a pattern of love, hope and devotion, which will prove to be invaluable to more lives than her own.
From the lush beauty of Sri Lanka, ravaged by bloody civil war, to India and its eventual resting place in Australia, this is the story of a precious saree and the lives it changes forever. Nila must find peace, Mahinda yearns for his true calling, Pilar is haunted by a terrible choice, Sarojini doubts her ability to love, Madhav is a holy fraud and Marion’s understanding of the very meaning of love is challenged and transformed. Each teeters between joy and pain, and each is touched by the power and beauty of the saree.
A breathtaking story of beauty, oppression and freedom… and of an enduring love that can never be broken.
