About The Book

Adgar is a compelling novel by Mahadev More, published by Mehta Publishing House, exploring the raw and often painful realities of rural life. The story follows Anshi, a young woman trapped in the clutches of poverty and societal struggles. Raised in a home dominated by an addicted father and a mother trapped in tobacco-filled toil, Anshi's dreams and aspirations are crushed by these circumstances.

Her life is further marred by a deceitful romance with a grocer named Bapu, who, despite being married, tricks many young girls in the village, including Anshi. Betrayed and abandoned, Anshi enters a marriage that brings no solace. As her life spirals, she falls victim to the vices and manipulations of the village priest and her own aunt, who sell her to a Kuntankhana in Mumbai for money.

In Adgar, Mahadev More paints a vivid and tragic picture of a woman’s battle for survival in a world where societal norms, exploitation, and betrayal dominate her fate. The novel questions whether Anshi’s life can be set on the right track or if it will continue to spiral into further destruction.
