Fiction

After losing all his family in a terrible famine, a man leaves his village with just the clothes on his back, never once looking back. For endless miles he walks through a landscape as desolate as his heart. Until two ancient women who have waited for rain for four hundred years lead him to the Village of Weavers where a prophecy will be fulfilled. A single drop of rain will impregnate the tiger-widow and her son will slay the spirit-tiger. The traveller will help the woman bring up the boy. He will witness miracles and tragedy and come close to finding a home again. And he will learn that love and life are eternal. In this novel, Author Easterine Kire combines lyrical storytelling with the magic and wisdom of Naga legends to produce an unforgettable, life-affirming fable. ©Speaking Tiger Publishing Pvt Ltd.
