Description
In its unique style, this book presents a chronicle of an ordinary middle class Bengali woman who penned down stories of her life but preferred to be anonymous to the reader. The pages of this cathartic diary carry the pathos of a dying woman’s sufferings out of rootlessness that she encountered in different junctures of her life. This is a story narrating the ups and downs of a little girl’s journey towards womanhood that might apparently sound insipid, but when read closely, is an account of a pervasive social canvas over a certain time period in history. The presentation of this anonymous autobiographical memoir before the readers by an individual other than the author herself adds a distinctive flavour to this book. More attractive it gets when some illustrations made by the author are included in it as pictorial expressions of her emotions, perceptions and thoughts.
