Shitjapan Sheshe by Nandita Bagchi [Hardcover]

"Ulupi, an unmarried woman and the head of a handicraft organization named 'Karumanjari,' lives near Madhyamgram in her ancestral home with her adopted daughter Upasana. The employees of Karumanjari are their family. Ulupi's engineer brother Upal and his wife Paroma live on Anwar Shah Road. Their only son Upamanyu is studying engineering in Bangalore. Upal's classmate Jishnu had a childhood romance with Ulupi. However, for higher education, Jishnu went to the United States, married Jagori, a PhD in pharmacology, and settled in the suburbs of Boston with their two children, Rik and Raka.

Upasana married her friend Rahul and moved to California, USA. Ulupi had to go there to take care of the pregnant and ill Upasana. At Jishnu's repeated requests, Ulupi went to Boston with her daughter. There, Upasana's illness became complicated, and so did the tensions in their relationships. Some fall asleep with the touch of a silver wand, while others awaken from hibernation with the touch of a golden wand."
