Ananda Swarupini by Narayan Sanyal [Hardcover]

It sounds like this novel takes a refreshing approach to historical fiction. Typically, historical novels blend history and imagination so seamlessly that the lines blur. However, the uniqueness of this work lies in how the author respects the boundaries—letting history remain true to itself while allowing the fictional narrative to flow independently. This distinction creates a balance where history and imagination coexist but don’t overshadow each other.
