About this audiobook
In a village where stubbornness is practically a religion, a sudden, trivial argument destroys a looming wedding and shatters multiple families. This masterful novel examines the devastating ripple effects of pride and the tragic inability to simply say sorry. The characters are trapped in self-imposed exiles, watching their chances for happiness wither away in the name of rigid principle. It is a profound, subtly devastating portrait of human psychology and the destructive power of the unyielding will. Experience a brilliant exploration of how ordinary people become architects of their own sorrow.
