By Flora Annie Webster Steel

Book Overview

The Potter's Thumb V2 is a novel written by Flora Annie Webster Steel. It is the second volume in a series that tells the story of the lives of the people living in a small Indian village. The story follows the lives of the villagers and their relationships with each other, as well as their struggles and triumphs. The main character, Ram Lal, is a potter who has a unique talent for creating beautiful pottery with just his thumb. He is a beloved member of the community and is respected for his skill. However, his life takes a turn when he falls in love with a woman from a higher caste. The novel explores the themes of love, caste, and tradition in Indian society. It is a beautifully written and engaging story that provides a glimpse into the complexities of life in a small Indian village.Up-stairs on the roof, the connection between Azizan's tears and Zainub's sciatica would have seemed far-fetched, obscure; down-stairs, however, it was self-evident, clear as daylight. Briefly, Aziz had the evil eye, like her grand- father the potter, and she was using it, as her mother had used it. Sixteen years before, after nursing that mother in the damp dungeon, where useless cries could be deadened, Zainub had nearly died of rheumatic fever. Not from the damp, of course; simply from the evil eye.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
