Agniporikkha by Ashapurna Debi [Hardcover]

"The Zamindar's wife, Hemprabha, suddenly made a huge mistake. She brought her city-raised granddaughter, accustomed to urban sophistication, to the village and got her married to another zamindar's son. The girl's parents were absent; if they had known, they certainly wouldn't have allowed it. The girl's mother, Chitralekha, wanted to fulfill all her unfulfilled desires through her daughter. Her daughter would be modern—educated, accomplished, and only then marry another modern man! In this era, how can the marriage of a twelve-year-old girl be acceptable?

But what is destined to happen will happen. At least, that's what Hemprabha believes."

This is just the outline of the novel. The real story is yet to unfold. Day after day, a battle within the mind—what greater trial by fire is there than an inner conflict?
