Nana Ranger Alo by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

In this novel, the myriad colors of light come together to form a precious diamond, each facet reflecting a different hue. The characters are diverse, representing various ages and types, each with their own unique problems. At the end of their lives, some secretly let out long sighs, some are intolerant of their daughters-in-law, others suddenly discover their husband's sexual coldness after marriage, and some find their love transformed into fear. There are those who want to lose interest in life due to failed love, while others indulge in passionate love as a fleeting game. Some are tormented by baseless doubts, and others accept illicit relationships with a calm mind.

Shirishendu Mukhopadhyay skillfully and maturely explores all these varied characters and issues. He illustrates how relationships unravel, but also hints at how, with a little effort, those frayed connections can be effortlessly mended. This duality is where the true brilliance of the novel lies.
