Married as a child bride to a tenant farmer she had never seen, she worked side by side in the field with her husband to wrest a living from the land that was ravaged by droughts, monsoons, and insects. With remarkable fortitude and courage, she sought to meet changing times and fight poverty and disaster. She saw one of her infants die from starvation, her daughter becomes a prostitute, and her sons leave the land for jobs which she distrusted. And, somehow, she survived. This beautiful and eloquent story tells of a simple peasant woman in a primitive village in India whose whole life was a gallant and persistent battle to care for those she loved-an unforgettable novel that will wring your heart out.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library YA -- Fiction Markandaya Classics Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library YA -- Fiction Markandaya Classics Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library YA -- Fiction Markandaya Classics Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Markandaya   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library YA -- Fiction Markandaya [Classic] Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Fiction Markandaya pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Fiction Markandaya Classics Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library YA -- Fiction Classics pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Fiction Markandaya Classic Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Fiction Markandaya Classic Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
