Across a vast ocean of time, a widow leads a life of stark suffering in a wealthy feudal household in 19th century, British-ruled Bengal, at a time when widow-burning has gone out of practice but widow remarriage is far from coming into vogue.As their stories begin to connect, they weave a larger narrative of historical forgetting, of voices that have been pushed out of the nation's memory. And what we are left with is the intriguing tale of two cities: the same geographical space separated by decades of experience and neglect.'This is a book to cherish for a very long time, for its descriptions and evocations as well as for what it tells us about the ebb and flow of human expectation' ---Amit Chaudhuri\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46338665873559,"sku":"9788172237134","price":293.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788172237134.webp?v=1769305343","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/silverfish-9788172237134","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
