| About Book |
Right in the middle of a buzzing Malaysian city is a magnificent forest,
now a piece of prime real estate and the perfect setting for a swanky
theme park. The trouble, however, is Sellamma, the old woman who owns
the forest land, and refuses to budge. Sumitra, who works for the Social
Reconstruction Department, is given the challenging task of convincing
the old lady to move into a welfare home. A great believer in her people
skills and a focused professional, Sumitra is used to tackling all kind of
cases. But, somehow, Sellamma eludes her manoeuvres.
Instead, Sumitra finds herself falling under the spell of the lazy afternoons
she spends with the old woman and her dog, listening to stories by the
gushing river. Bewitched by the hidden sounds of the forest that punctuate
the ageless woman’s narrative, she begins to reflect on her life and
choices. On her death, Sellamma leaves Sumitra with yet another choice
by bequeathing the land to her.
Set in a mesmerizing landscape, and illuminating the eternal struggle
between the old and the new, Between Lives reveals to us a journey of
self-reflection and the hope of recovering what is lost forever to humanity. |
