Anya Basanta by Suchitra Bhattacharya [Hardcover]

When Tannishtha's marriage to the ambitious, career-conscious, and handsome Shaunak is arranged, another young man enters her life - Abhimanyu. He is trying to stand on his own feet through a perfume business. Despite being of the same generation, Abhimanyu is completely different from other young people. Tannishtha begins to feel conflicted. At this moment, a new crisis arises in the life of Tannishtha’s father, Shubhendu. At the age of fifty-three, the company forces him to take early retirement. The group theater, where he once sought liberation and desired to be in touch with art, is now also tainted by commercialism. In this situation, will Shubhendu be able to steer his life’s boat in the right direction? And who will Tannishtha choose? Why does she long for Abhimanyu, as roots cling to the soil? The answer to these questions is found in Suchitra Bhattacharya’s unique novel.
