This is a story of three generations of Bengalee women spanning the 1930s to the 1980s-in times of political uprisings and civil conflicts, turmoil and joy. The colors and contours, rituals and challenges captured in the book portray their extraordinary journey. Sanu mourns her immense solitude in a loveless marriage to an old man. Sabaa is the first woman from her village who flies in an aeroplane to a foreign land to create a future. Her three daughters-Tara, Zahra and Anushka-in their tightly balled up fists hold dreams that pale in the light of the day. They fall in love, encounter heartbreaks, and wrestle with destiny. But their indomitable spirits remain unscathed; they craft their own amazing stories . . . to feel they are really living.
