The narrative voices in this collection by Anita Agnihotri weave a textured tapestry out of the closely interlinked facets of the author's experiences. She combines journalistic essays and fiction into a mosaic that compels the reader to reflect on the many levels of reality of socio-economic development in India and the multilayered relationship between administrators and people. She has overcome the usual restrictive disjunctions between narrative genres and between literary and social science formats. Agnihotri draws her inspiration from human relationships, and her writings deal with the common woman and her hopes and aspirations.

<p>One of the largest rivers of India, Mahanadi originates from the foothills of the Sihaoa mountain of Chhattisgarh and flows for a thousand kilometres through Chhattisgarh and Odisha, finally immersing in the Bay of Bengal at Jagatsinghpur. But its journey never ends, as it flows daily from the plateau to the forest to the ravine to the plains. It unites with the sea every day. At every new turn, it leaves behind scores of villages, towns and cities. The din and bustle of a mofussil town, the solitary life in a standalone village, people’s struggle for survival, the episodes of their joys and sorrows, the sighs of the displaced people of Sambalpur during the building of the Hirakud dam mixes with the cries of the endangered people on the banks when the river overflows. In this novel, the tale of the river is entwined with the people through vignettes of their dynamic lives that are infused with myths, legends and archaeological anecdotes. Characters like Malati Gond, Neelkantha, Kuber, Bhanu Shitulia, Parvati and others might never meet each other, but the story of their lives will remain strung together by the common thread of the ever-flowing Mahanadi. The chronicle of Mahanadi is a journey through travails and misfortunes into life’s joys and mysterious beauty.</p>
