Description
As well as being a love story, this authentic work, backed by a rich tapestry of Indian lore, focuses on modern lives that clash against a rapidly vanishing Indian. - Sue LewandoThe Hornbill Crescendo portrays the idyllic landscapes around the villages of north-eastern India, revealing the beauty of life blossoming in its diversity. Happiness there is abundant, radiated in the wrinkles and creases on every dimpled face. Peace, love and lust; intoxication, violence and anxiety; indulgence, aggression and pure submission unfold in vibrant colour through the narration.This work of fiction exposes social hypocrisy and the peculiarity of taboos and customs, balanced against real lives in rural villages that remain close to nature.It is a love story, in which two young people, when attempting to cross the social divide, have to overcome the conflicts of each others cultural identities.People in the hills, arent they luckier? They are not carried away by complex taboos and cultural intricacies; instead, they laugh heartily and die with a smile on their lips.
