As a little girl, Suchitra Bhattacharya enjoyed making up stories and writing them down. After her graduation from Calcutta University and marriage, she returned to the world of writing in the 1970s. She didn't take long to emerge as one of the most prominent writers in Bangla. Suchitra is a perceptive observer of the changing urban milieu and her writing closely examines the crises faced by the contemporary Bengali Middle class. This winning collection brings together the stories of some remarkable women caught in the dilemmas of our ordinary lives. At the same time, bhattacharya makes powerful comments on difficult issues such as poverty and corruption without sermonizing. These are stories that make us pause and reflect on how our day-to-day actions affect the environment we live in, by posing questions we cannot ignore.
