About This Book

An elderly farmer recounts the prosperous, close-knit life of his extended family on a riverside farm, celebrating weddings, meals, and everyday routines. As preparations and village gaiety unfold, a prolonged storm swells the nearby river and introduces growing unease, shifting the tone from domestic warmth to apprehension. The narrative contrasts communal joy and rural ritual with the latent power of nature, tracing how ordinary pleasures are shadowed by an approaching natural threat.
