The lady after giving to baby girl tells her husband that she is in love with another person so she can't stay here. Her husband allows her to leave but without the kid.
In the middle pages Amrita gives some space to the scenes of partition.

Small but excellent novel.

Gulzar Sahab hasn’t yet made a movie on this? this story deserves an on screen adaptation.

[Drisha · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the finest representatives of a marital bond, there is an apt comparison of marriage with other forced bonds. Such comparisons are present a lot in Amrita's stories. A heart wrenching tale of dedicated love, the ending of this book brought tears to my eyes.

Amrita’s distinct way of portraying godly emotions through mere mortals is always special, Dr. Dev is not far from the ideal partner everyone looks for. The build up, characters and the plot has been woven very neatly. Still figuring out what is platonic love? Read the book ;)
