The story of Somlata a poor bride in a once rich household and her daughter Boshon, indulged as the only child of the household, and how the not-death of Boshon's (great)great-aunt has shaped both their lives. It is a bit heavy on the "influence of a good woman" but at least shows that that neither the influence nor the good is straightforward.

Quick and odd book with an even ofder ending.

I really enjoyed this little book from a Bengali writer. The narrators were excellent and gave all the spice to the book. Through this little story I learnt a lot about the cultural context and the great emancipation of women just in three generations.

Two good narrators for this audiobook. I'm afraid I was a little lost in the telling. Not quite my cup of tea. I did read to the end though. I just didn't really understand it. My bad.
