More about the book

The story explores the complex relationship between children and adults through the lens of an Indian uncle's blunt remarks. His comparison of children to jam highlights the chaos they bring when not in their place, provoking feelings of youth and anger in the young protagonists. This dynamic sets the stage for a deeper examination of family, authority, and the expectations placed on children. The narrative balances humor with poignant reflections on growing up and the challenges of familial relationships.
