A saga of young hands at a silk-making facility, a gripping tale of hope, friendship and loss.
In southern India, in 1992, silkworms feed on Mulberry leaves and spin cocoons of silk.
Six days a week, twelve hours a day, fourteen-year-old Manju and his friend Shiva toil in the brutal confines of the Factory, which runs under the merciless leadership of Pandu. Lives improve for the two boys when they cross paths with Vishal, a city-bred lad whose family owns the silk business. Vishal, who is battling his own demons, finds unexpected comfort in the company of his new-found friends.
However, menacing currents within the Factory continue to simmer under the surface, and things rapidly come to a head. Little Hands of Silk is a novel of loss—loss of empathy, of innocence, of life itself, but it’s also a tale of hope and friendship that blooms as an antidote to the surrounding evil.
