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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The novel paints an intimate, kaleidoscopic portrait of a vanishing way of life.
