SYNOPSIS:  “Sri’s parents at first find his birth a blessing, but the boy grows up wild and unsociable, forever flitting about the surrounding cliffs and estuaries like a bird. When a poor fishing season threatens their livelihoood, the villagers turn on Siri, blaming him for the lack of fish, and Siri flees to the cliffs where the hawks nest.”
