Description

The maid’s father extorted money from her every month. When the maid realizes how hopeless her life is, she takes matters into her own hands. The story is full of conversational humor and gives a very realistic potrayal of middle class Bengali life.

Excerpt

We all fear that Parul is losing her mind. Sometimes I see her standing alone on the terrace, the evening wrapped around her frail form, the sadness of a day gone by mute and heavy in her eyes. These days she talks very little, eats even less and falls into prolonged silences. Sometimes I see her circling the potted plants on the terrace but she mostly remains in her tiny room on the third floor.
