Set during 60s and 70s in the coalfields of Bihar and Bengal, 'The Coal Miner's Daughter' tells the fascinating story of life in the coal mines through the eyes of the curious protagonist Suhasini. Captivating, touching and dramatic, the novel reveals the essence of human experience - through stories of thrill and simplicity, love and grit, and trust and ruthlessness in the backdrop of transition of the industry from privately held mines into the government-owned mining behemoth Coal India. The story unfolds through characters that are remarkably convincing, balanced, and ironic of the times.
