Bankim-Kaliprasanna o Koyekjon Nari by Ranjan Bandyopadhyay [Hardcover]

"June 1860. The monsoon had just begun. Bankim was twenty-two and firmly resolved not to marry. He intended to spend his entire life cherishing the memories of Mohini. Bankim's heart may have barely adapted to the shadow of her absence, perhaps only for a while. But his twenty-two-year-old body longed for presence, for the release and solace of longing.

The taste of passion and warmth that Mohini had given him, the spark and fascination she had stirred, left Bankim yearning for more. So, within just a few months of Mohini's death, Bankim set out to find a bride. Yet, Mohini remained forever etched in his heart.

Only the other day, Bankim swore a Bhishma-like vow that he would never marry again after losing Mohini. And now, how quickly he agreed to wed! It was as if Mohini never existed in Bankim’s life, as if he was about to marry for the first time.
