Buddhadeva Bose (1908–1974) was one of the most versatile Bengali writers of the twentieth century. A novelist, poet, editor and scholar, he founded the influential Bengali poetry magazine Kavita and helped establish the Department of Comparative Literature at Jadavpur University. He received the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1967 and the Padma Bhushan in 1970.
Maloti Mukherji is married to Nayonangshu, a college lecturer whose reserved and insecure nature leaves her emotionally and physically dissatisfied. Her life changes when she becomes involved with Jayanto, a confident and passionate journalist. As their relationship deepens, Nayonangshu becomes aware of the affair but struggles with his pride and inability to confront the situation. The novel explores desire, emotional loneliness, social expectations, marriage and the consequences of forbidden love.
