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. Lyrical and haunting, \u003ci\u003eGold Sand, Gold Water\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential addition to Bengali literature in translation--one that ensures these overlooked stories, like the river itself, continue to flow. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nalini Bera\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1803095911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803095912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Nalini Bera","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46927907356927,"sku":"9781803095912","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bff5defb-4073-4ec4-9f87-0ecbeb0d69a2.jpg?v=1749373339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gold-sand-gold-water-nalini-bera-9781803095912","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
