Beschreibung:
Three themes bind this collection of eight stories: women, around whom the storiesare built, Goa, in which the stories are set, and the popular rhyme, One for sorrow, two
for joy, which is used as an anchor; each story, in turn, reflecting the emotions or objects
referred to in successive lines of the rhyme.
Sorrow and joy, girls and boys, silver and gold, secrets, food, drink, wishes, kisses
and messages - these are the stuff that stories have been made of since they were told at
the dawn of humankind in huddles around campfires.
And this is the stuff these stories are also made of.
Though authentically Goan, these tales speak universally to all. Told with wit and
subtle humour, each has an interesting twist at the end, to give the reader an "ah-ha"
moment in the final paragraphs.
