Summary:
Nil Roller Lal Roller follows the story of Ranan, who returns to the city from Europe only to discover that his 72-year-old father has remarried. Initially troubled, Ranan’s feelings begin to shift as he observes the behavior of the relatives. The novel is told in a conversational tone, with Ranan recounting his life. He is a writer and is involved in the family business. As the story progresses, someone from his past re-enters his life, and the narrative takes a new direction. Through Ranan’s perspective, readers encounter a variety of characters such as his little aunt, Harida, Sanila, Topun, Toffee Aunt, and Tanni, whose stories intertwine with his. The story meanders through joy and sorrow, like the golden and silver work on a precious piece, reflecting both happiness and melancholy. The "blue roller" and "red roller" in the garden often appear, bringing deeper meaning to the unfolding events.
