Against the
backdrop of a politically turbulent Assam, a young girl named Millie is
determined to make her voice heard. She spends her childhood in a rural set-up with seven sisters, three anxious matriarchs and a resigned father this is what her small world is all about.
Born in
a family of priests, she struggles with orthodoxy and convention, and
goes on to become a student leader something which only foreshadows the
bigger role she is destined to play. A flawed horoscope delays her
marriage, but hastens her emancipation. Her tryst with romance is
overwhelming, and sweeps her off her feet, but…
Ethnic clashes, militant activities, violent elections disturb the
countryside, otherwise home to several tribal communities, lush tea
gardens, exotic orchids, sundry birds, one-horned rhinos and much more.
What has been said about Voices in the Valley
“I have read the book twice. In
my frank opinion, it’s an excellent work of literature. Use of Grammar
is complex and comprehensible. This book will be categorized as a
classic and if the academic and literary
community can be persuaded, it may well be accepted for an English prose
or non-detail text for English educating students.” ~Dr. Naresh
“Prose style is poetic and lucid.Hope to see the book go up and make a mark in the literary circle.” ~Srinu Rao
“A lyrical piece of work with intelligent observations written with detailed research.” ~Junali Barman
About Dr. Suravi Kumar
Suravi Sharma Kumar is a doctor by profession but has always been fascinated by the world of literature. What inspired her to write this book was the fact that most of mainland India is still unfamiliar with the country s Northeast and is unaware of its innate beauty. This is her first book and is based on her research and experiences in the valley.
