{"product_id":"9781803095912","title":"Gold Sand, Gold Water","description":"\u003cb\u003eA river that once carried gold now bears the weight of memory and the struggles of those who call its banks home.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eGold Sand, Gold Water\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The novel paints an intimate, kaleidoscopic portrait of a vanishing way of life. Lyrical and haunting, \u003ci\u003eGold Sand, Gold Water\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential addition to Bengali literature in translation-one that ensures these overlooked stories, like the river itself, continue to flow.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Seagull Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453851148661,"sku":"9781803095912","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781803095912.jpg?v=1785503229","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.com\/products\/9781803095912","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
