Is life a blessing or a curse?

In this inventive fairy tale, a human child is raised by the spirit of a river, avoiding other humans until one moves into the house across from their den. Ghosh deftly weaves a heartwarming story of grief, self-hatred, and love, all while exploring the idea that our circumstances may not be the curses we think they are. This is an excellent novella for fans of character-driven stories.
