Bhuture Ghari by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

In this book, the protagonist, Haranchandra, is accustomed to losing everything. When his cherished 322nd watch is stolen and replaced with the 323rd, bizarre events unfold. This watch plays enchanting music and laughter, and a ghostly voice whimsically chimes in with nonsensical phrases.

Strange phenomena follow: why are the characters, including Mr. Gordon and his dogs, trapped in a deep slumber? Why do the hands of other watches spin backward after this new watch enters the house? Why won’t photographs come out?

The narrative weaves humor with suspense, blending thrilling supernatural elements with scientific explanations. Shirsendu Mukhopadhyay crafts an extraordinary science fiction tale that is both amusing and mysterious, creating an engaging and lively experience for readers.
