My favourite part in the story would be the ending. Not surprisingly, this is again a happy ending, not unlike from most stories, if not all.
Firstly, it was Diwali and Hari had come back from
Furthermore, the father had given up drinking and turned over a new leaf, when he found out that the mother was in the hospital. He realized his mistake, and the impact of it on his family. I believed he was truly sorry for what he had done. Therefore, he would start performing his duty as a father of four children.
Besides that, the future of the family is bright. Hari’ watch mending skill would bring a steady income for the family, when lots of townspeople came to Thul to work in the factories. Meantime, they could set up a poultry farm, which would be the first and successful too. Hari’s father could also find himself a job. In a nutshell, they did not have to worry about financial difficulties.
Well, the ending is close to perfect, thus it is my favourite part in Village by the Sea. What about you?
