Winner of the 1982 Guardian Award for children's fiction, The
Village by the Sea is a survival story by the novelist Anita Desai.
Set in a small fishing villlage near Bombay, Lila and Hari, aged 13
and 12, struggle to keep the family, including two young sisters,
going when their mother is ill and their father usually the worse
for drink. When Hari goes to Bombay to find work, Lila seems to be
responsible for everything. Although the book paints a picture of
extreme poverty, it demonstrates the strength of the family even in
the most extreme circumstances and offers a powerful picture of
another culture.
