Sonali Ribbon by Kamalesh Kumar [Hardcover]

"Kamalesh Kumar weaves a story across three novels. Just as the hours glow red when a waterfall descends from within the heart, as people pour out love and tears, fire and moonlight, intoxication and dreams in the joy of breaking themselves, the characters in this book also immerse themselves endlessly in sunlight.

While reading about Shaurya, Ujjayini, Aritra, Jhumur, Dico, and Tithi, readers might feel as though the author has magically seen into their lives, for such vivid images seem impossible to draw even with a pen! These stories are not just golden dreams or the fair call of spring. Amid them rise the syndicate’s rule, brutal murders, and the growing weight of injustice. Yet, even while standing atop piles of gunpowder and bullets, the butterfly-colored heart sways like a rickety, irreparable bridge."
