About this book

किल्लारी परिसरातील एका लहानशा खेड्याच्या पार्श्वभूमीवर, एका कुमारवयीन मुलाच्या भावविश्वात खळबळ माजवणारा भूकंपाचा अनुभव रेखाटणारी कादंबरी
गावातील लहान-मोठी माणसे, त्यांचे रोजचे जगणे; आणि भूकंपामुळे काही क्षणांत बदलून गेलेले त्यांचे जगणे, भितीवर मात करत पुन्हा नव्या उमेदीने जगणे सुरू करण्याचा लहानमोठ्या सर्व गावकऱ्यांचा हा प्रवास, असा वेगळाच जीवनानुभव मुलाच्या नजरेतून आणि त्याच्याच भाषेतून

A novel set against the backdrop of a small village in the Killari region, portraying the harrowing experience of an earthquake through the eyes of a young boy.

It captures the lives of the villagers—their daily routines, the sudden upheaval caused by the earthquake, and how, despite the fear, they gradually begin to rebuild their lives with renewed hope. This journey of the entire village, both young and old, is presented as a unique life experience, seen through the perspective and in the words of the boy himself.
