Banded Rocks

This is a coming-of-age story of a boy, through which the other correctors, who are also struck in one way or the other, are emphasised. There is a very strong bond depicted between the mother and the son. As the story progresses, melancholy prevails in the air, through some chats between the mother and the son about their family tragedies. Moreover, the story is also unique in style, as Virginia Woolf asserts that if a writer "" could base his world upon his own feelings and not upon convention, there would be no plot, no comedy, no tragedy, no love interest in the accepted style"".

There are poems that are also written from the perspective of a boy whose mind ventures into several dark passages of the world.
