Set in a pre-independent India, paints the picture of the society of that era. A tragic life of a second wife Nirmala. Multiple themes, repeated emotions. No rosy picture of anything. A dark book showcasing bitter truth. Portrays the life of a woman in 1900s . If you look for happy ending then it is not for you. I read this book, out of fascination for the title of the book and as it is by the legendary author.
