Sonali Megh, Rupoli Chhaya by Sourabh Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

"This novel stands with the shadow of a bygone golden era in its heart. Through the trio of singer Manimay, composer Arunesh, and matinee idol Nihar, countless golden grains were produced in the world of Bengali music and cinema. But in the inevitable script of time, conflicts and separations emerge. This story encompasses all those joint creations, ascensions, misunderstandings, peaks, and the poignant end. Its fabric is interwoven with gains and losses, friendships and enmities, love and hate, the pursuit of self-excellence, and the bloody chronicles of self-destruction. Some characteristics of the main characters and the side personalities around them may seem familiar to readers. This novel, crafted with a mix of reality and imagination, gives readers a memory of the golden age of music."
