This is a book to cherish for a very long time, for its descriptions and evocations as well as for what it tells us about the ebb and flow of human expectation. Amit Chaudhuri A retired schoolteacher in present-day Calcutta is caught in the labyrinth of rusty bureaucracy and political crime under a communist government. Across a vast ocean of time, a widow leads a life of stark suffering in a wealthy feudal household in nineteenth-century, British-ruled Bengal, at a time when widow-burning has gone out of practice but widow remarriage is far from coming into vogue. As their stories begin to connect, they weave a larger narrative of historical forgetting, of voices that have been pushed out of the nations memory. And what we are left with is the intriguing tale of two cities the same geographical space separated by decades of experience and neglect.

SilverfishThis debut novel by Saikat Majumdar tells a lyrical and riveting story about a nineteenth-century Indian woman and the 20th-century teacher who becomes absorbed in her story. Majumdar deftly braids two narratives and two narrators into a fascinating novel that is simultaneously about the present and the past.The writing is compelling, and at times, quite luminous. Majumdar's ability to project himself inside the head of a cloistered woman who recorded her experiences a century ago is remarkable. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. This would be an excellent book for a book club.
