[Sonalee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Classic story telling at its finest, especially Kabuliwala and The Postmaster. One wonders how the original Bengaliproze would be, given the translations are so heart touching. Based in rural Bengal the stories reflect teh social fabric of a bygone era, So quaint, so innocent and poignant all at the same time.
