Beche Thaka by Sunil Gangopadhyay [Hardcover]

In the dim and damp life of a rented house, Anupam has discovered that his father Indranath is a failed singer, a failed husband, and a failed father. This man had once beaten his mother with a whip. But why? The person who had migrated from East Bengal, why is he losing in the battle of life? Despite enduring all the hardships of family life with a smile, why did his mother Madhuri, a daughter of a well-off family, leave for her father's home in such pain? In search of answers to these questions, Anupam found himself alone. Apart from a few friends, his tutoring job, and his poetry notebook, Anupam had no other connections. One day, Indranath also left the family. But where did he go? Even in the face of this unavoidable breakdown, Anupam had dreams. Was that dream of touching the blue sky and the sea?
