SUMMARY
In a remote town in the Himalaya, Maya tries to put behind her a time of great sorrow. By day she teaches in a school and at night she types up drafts of a magnum opus by her landlord, a relic of princely India known to all as Diwan Sahib. Her bond with this eccentric, and her friendship with a peasant girl, Charu, give her the sense that she might be able to forge a new existence away from the devastation of her past. As Maya finds out, no place is remote enough or small enough. The world she has come to love, where people are connected with nature, is endangered by the town's new administration. The impending elections are hijacked by powerful outsiders who divide people and threaten the future of her school. Charu begins to behave strangely, and soon Maya understands that a new boy in the neighbourhood may be responsible.
REFLECTION
I'm so amazed in this literary piece. Because the men in this story chosed his own career compare to his love ones. I can relate to michael because I'm also want's to be a photograper someday and when I got a good shot I'm so happy and I will post it on the social media, but then going back to the topic. If I choose love or career, I will choose love because the all things that I'll going to do now is for my love ones or to my family. Other say that they will choose they career but we free to choose. This the lesson that i learned
