This is a book that seize your heart at thievery first chapter. Its language is flowing like a river of poetry. I suddenly felt myself moved to the Bengali countryside. The imagery is mesmerizing and it is one of those books that follows you for life.

Baba's heart, but in reality it only exacerbates the situation. Daria realises that she can
never raise Jhinuk the way she wants as long as she remains Ali Baba's wife. Her anger
now takes a definite shape. She flees to her riverside village ready to fight anyone who
would dare to take her child....
