Hriday Brittanta by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

In earlier times, this could have been described as a sweet novel of love and reunion. However, does "Hridoybritant" really resonate with the cliché-ridden narratives often associated with such labels? Especially considering it is penned by Shirishendu Mukhopadhyay.

It is often said that love transcends time, but not everyone can capture its contemporary essence. Shirishendu can. His skill is exemplified in "Hridoybritant." Starting with the complexities, scandals, and impending separation of a Bengali couple living in America, the story gradually unfolds to reveal new dimensions of heart relationships set against the backdrop of Kolkata.

While addressing the restlessness, cruelty, revenge-driven tendencies, and apparent lack of values among modern youth, Shirishendu Mukhopadhyay masterfully weaves together timeless values and beliefs, along with eternal love, affection, emotion, and dependency. This creates an extraordinary narrative that operates on multiple levels, making "Hridoybritant" a remarkable work.
