These kind of stories does exist in rural Punjab and Ram Sarup Ankhi had the specialty to describe these stories in a effective way. The book tells the story of Partapi, a girl from a village in Punjab, who is having a affair with a boy, but then something really bad happens to her that changes her entire life.

The story is all about her sacrifices, patience and grieves. A must read book for Punjabi literature readers.

It is considered as Panjabi's classic novel. Tale of protagonist Partapi and his struggle when his husband brings another wife . In past life she was raped by a godman and she revenged her disgrace by killing that man, on other hand novel portrayed landscapes , culture , language , relationship and other nature of human beings . If you love Punjabi literature you can read this one.
