The Subarnarekha River shimmers with legend; once said to carry flecks of gold, it remains a source of both promise and hardship for those who live along its banks. In Gold Sand, Gold Water, Nalini Bera conjures a world where folklore and reality flow together, and forbidden love defies caste. Through the eyes of young Lolin, we witness the daily struggles of the Hatua people-part of the marginalized Adivasi and Dalit communities-as they navigate a world where ancient traditions are slowly being eroded by modern industry.    The novel paints an intimate, kaleidoscopic portrait of a vanishing way of life. Lyrical and haunting, Gold Sand, Gold Water is an essential addition to Bengali literature in translation-one that ensures these overlooked stories, like the river itself, continue to flow.    ? \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369205969269,"sku":"9781803095912","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781803095912.jpg?v=1763552495","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781803095912","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
