Shodh by Taslima Nasrin [Hardcover]

Harun and Jhumur discovered deep love for each other and built a dream home together. Despite the monotony of daily life and social pressures, their profound love remained unchanged, though it took on a different form. Their life, based on mutual love, had never faced any questions until now. What is the question? While love is great, isn't respect for one's own identity even greater? When mutual love hinders progress, makes unreasonable demands, fails to teach respect, and tears the heart with unclean doubts, questions inevitably arise. From the depths of humiliation emerges the desire for revenge, as it did for Jhumur. Despite loving Harun, Jhumur meticulously crafted revenge for every insult, not through cruelty, but with resolute denial. Taslima Nasrin's pen brings forth an extraordinary novel exploring these themes.
