Ek Number Bari by Krishna Basu [Hardcover]

The house at Number One Woodburn Park in Kolkata is now steeped in history for many reasons. However, the glorious history of the house is not the main focus of this book. Instead, it revolves around the memoir of a girl who became a housewife there in the 1950s.

Four decades ago, a girl from an ordinary middle-class family became a housewife in the famous house at Number One Woodburn Park. The glory of the Bose family was fading then, but the warmth of their historical legacy still lingered. Although the illustrious men who created the history of this house were no longer present, their brilliance continued to profoundly impact the lives of their descendants.

During this time, the sweet experiences of the household became treasures for the new bride. Shortly after, she and her husband moved to the distant city of Boston in America. Today, traveling abroad may not be a significant event, but back then, America was a new world, a wonder.

This book is a valuable collection of bygone days and colorful anecdotes of expatriate life. It captures the essence of the past and offers a vivid portrayal of domestic and expatriate life.
