📖 Summary:

Set against the backdrop of World War II and India’s fight for independence, this novel vividly captures the turbulence of 1943—when the Quit India Movement was at its peak, and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was rallying his Azad Hind Fauj with the call, Dilli Chalo!

Amidst this chaos, a stormy night forces an unknown young man and woman to take refuge in an abandoned house on the outskirts of Kolkata. Caught by Civil Guards, they are taken to the police station, where an unexpected marriage takes place.

Later, Tapati, in an attempt to escape an arranged marriage, seeks out her unfamiliar husband, Sambaran, who is now imprisoned as a freedom fighter. Their relationship unfolds through letters, written from a service center in Sundarbans and a jail cell, revealing their ideals, beliefs, and dreams for an independent India.

🔹 A unique blend of history, romance, and patriotism.
🔹 Deeply reflective letters that read like essays on freedom and sacrifice.
🔹 An invaluable historical novel depicting India’s struggle for independence.
