Married as a child bride to Nathan, a tenant farmer she had never
met, Rukmani works side by side in the fields with her husband to
wrest a living from a land ravaged by droughts, monsoons, and
insects. With fortitude and courage, she fights poverty and
disaster. Written over 70 years ago, Nectar in a Sieve is as
relevant now as when it was first published. The story of Rukmani
and Nathan is the story of many Indian farmers yesterday and today.
This new edition introduces a new generation of readers to a tragic
tale made all the more relevant as temperatures soar in India and
working the land becomes more and more challenging.
