The Village By The Sea / Anita DesaiA Classic of Our Time.
Untouched by the twentieth century, Thul, the small fishing village near Bombay, is still ruled by the age-old seasonal rhythms. Hari and Lila have lived in the village all their lives, but their family is now desperately down on its luck. Their father drinks; their mother is seriously ill; and there is no money to keep them fed and clothed.

how depressing is this stroy?
It isn't depressing. Gives you hope. Tells you that you'd learn, change, grow -- adapt. It's beautiful. Read it. :-)
