In some moments I don't know what to say about the story, and in others I want to say so much I don't know where to start, and have to remind myself to be careful not to reveal any spoilers. And for those reading along with knowledge of the quartet, you'll discover some specific connections.

India has seen a deceleration in the area and yield growth rates of many food and cash crops since the 1990s. ![]() ![]() ![]() Through interviews with friends and experts, they have come to understand that their struggles are not unique.
