Black Light
Medhasri Sen was at war with the woman everyone thought she was. No one knows until, to everyone's surprise, she kills herself.Her brothers are secretly relieved: abandoned by her husband for her strange, unpredictable ways, she had been nothing but an embarrassment and a responsibility.
But her suicide tears up the placid life of her journalist nephew, Satya, who discovers that before her death Medha had laid for him a trail of clues that led him to places no one ever knew she had been.
In each place, Satya finds stories and artworks she had hidden and it slowly dawns on him that he is rescuing the life-work of a genius. In doing so, he learns how dangerously close he is himself to the abyss that has swallowed her up.

In this book,Rimi B. Chatterjee has given voice to the innumerable minds that dare to think different, yet who are suffocated by the iron molds of the society, which they are expected to fit in, at any cost; are looked down upon by the people who are so proud at their ability to follow a straight line, that they sneer at anyone, who choose not to.

This book for me, was boring and while the short stories were something to read, the way it pieced together was a snooze fest. Wouldn't recommend anyone to read it, ofcourse my opinion.
