#BookLove Nil Ghurni by Suchitra Bhattacharya

 

About The Book

The story starts as a relationship develops between 23-year-old Daita, a college student, and Bodhisattva Majumdar, a distinguished scientist in the country, who is 50 years old.

Lost in flying love, Bodhisattva abandons his devoted wife Rakhi, and their son. Daita breaks up her arranged marriage, severing her relationship with her family.

They started to live together as husband and wife.

But the boy with whom Daita was supposed to get married, Soumik, is unable to forget Daita. He runs to Daita again and again. What does the boy want? Revenge? Or something else?

My Thoughts

Nil Ghurni by Suchitra Bhattacharya realistic and complex story of lust, love, and misfortune.

However, this is not just an anecdote of a love triangle. Through the tension between men and women, the author explores the place of women in our society.

This is a large novel; however, I read it in one fell swoop—unbelievable! Each character is perfectly drawn.

There is not a bit of dull moment anywhere. The flow of events is very smooth, and each dialogue touched my heart.
