I have read many books in my leasure time. Some time I read Sinhala, Tamil or English books. Village by the sea is the book most favorite foreign novel I have read in my life.
In my fourteen’th birth day my father gave this book for me as a present. Village by the sea is Anita Desails first novel for children. This novel is Indian novel and it is very close to children. Because it doesn’t have valions and some time it was very humer. This novel was roled around poor indian family. Here are many children charactors tn this novel.
Hari, Lila, Bela, Kamal, Ramu, Mahesh and Bhola are some of them.
Lila is thirteen years and her brother Hari is twelve years. They have to do many works to earn money for living their litle sisters Bela and Kamal and their mother. Their mother was fallen ill from Mal Nutretion and there father is a drunkerd person. Because of that they fallen in to many disterss. This novel is narrates insident to another insident. In many years ago they had a fishing boat and two buffolows but when their father was a drunkerd person they had to sell this things to pay debts.
Hari’s main disere is to to help their family. Lila did all house hold works for them.hari thought to go to Bombay to find a job to earn money for living. He stayed Mr Jagu’s Sri Krishna eating house . During this period Mr Panwalla help him to study about watch repairing. After he was came home from Mr Panwalla and Mr Jagu’s help. When he was comong to Thul their mother admiterd to hospitel and their father stoped drinking. Hari’s pet Pinto was die.
After six months their mother came home.this time the factory was build up and Hari got chance for job from for watch reparing and now he has a watch reparing shop and paultry farm.Hari is very clever boy.
In a way there the I like to read this novel. Because it’s an interstind story.
