Praner Alap by Arpita Sarkar [Hardcover]

The main character of the novel, Dayita, is truly an inspiration for Bengali women! Her love, pride, sense of self-respect, and her thoughts have deeply impressed me. Dayita’s father, Prabodh Babu, is indeed a real-life Superman. Every character in this novel is incredibly lively and vivid. Dayita and Aritra are two characters who inspire admiration. This story beautifully illustrates that love does not mean sacrificing one's identity; rather, true love is about preserving one’s own self while caring for others. Love, respect, self-confidence, and a sense of responsibility shine through on every page. The ending of the novel is extraordinarily beautiful.
