I read ‘A New Life’ which is about a young woman’s journey into adulthood set in the backdrop of Bengal’s first partition in 1947. A sweet coincidence as today is the anniversary of Bengal’s second partition in 1971 and the formation of Bangladesh.

From a whimsical travelogue to a humorous ghost story to a partition tale, this is a really unusual collection of short fiction.
