Experience a deeply emotional coming-of-age story in The Holidays by Rabindranath Tagore.

Phatik, a lively village boy, is uprooted from his carefree life and sent to live in the bustling city of Kolkata. In his uncle’s home, he feels out of place and unloved, struggling to adjust to a world that seems cold and indifferent. Missing his village, his friends, and most of all his mother, Phatik finds himself overwhelmed by loneliness and longing.
