The part I like the most Village by the Sea

The part which I like the most in the novel, Village by the sea, is the ending. It shows how Hari returned form Bombay and celebrates Diwali together with his family. The story had a happy ending. Hari brought back some money from Bombay and even planned to set up a poultry farm in Thul. His father also stopped drinking. He then went to Alibagh to fetch his mother who recovered and was discharged from the hospital while his sisters prepared for Diwali. On Hindu New Year's Day, Hari visited the sahib who likes to study birds. When Hari learnt that he fell into a creek and his watch was not working, he put his watch mending skills into use and mended the Sahib's watch. He told Hari that he had to adapt in order to survive. The story ended with Hari seeing his mother scattering flowers onto the three rocks that stood in the sea.
