They had fallen in love. But Rumi had never envisioned a future with Ratul, an artist of modest stature. Is it just ambition, or does Rumi harbor a hidden truth in her life? Marriage, separation, another man's touch! Yet, why can't the scent of that soil, the mud they shared, be forgotten by Rumi? ?Tobuo Jiban Jwale? is a contemporary novel of present-day men and women. Saikat Mukhopadhyay, a perceptive chronicler of the heart's hidden desires, weaves a dreamlike imagery of love and hatred, hope and aspirations, loss and victory.
