Which part of Village by the Sea do you like best?

I like the part where Hari goes back to his home in Thul, which is after Coconut Day, as this part shows that the family is no longer dysfunctional.
Let me state my reasons.

Hari
1)He has found a stable job and has earned quite some money, relieving the financial problem his family is having. He learnt a new skill, which is watch mending, and he wants to set up a shop back in Thul. He gained lots of experienced and he has grown to be a mature person.
2) He also expressed his wish of going back to Thul and this shows that the family is re-uniting again.

Lila
1)Although having to cope alone without his brother, she still managers to earn some money by working for a birdwatcher. This shows that she is independent and does not need to rely on his brother all the time.

Mother
1)She is recovering from her illness and is not as weak as before. This shows that she can take the role as the mother again and Lila does not need to be the 'mother' of the family anymore.

Father
1)He is no longer a drunkard and has turned over a new leaf. He also had taken up the responsiblity of a father by taking care of his wife. This gives us a hint that he would find a job and relieve this family of their current financial crisis.
