📌 About the Book:

Farasi Premik tells the story of Neela, a beautiful, educated, and well-off Bengali woman who finds herself trapped in a stifling marriage with Kishanlal, a man who views her as a possession rather than an equal partner. Kishanlal, who owns two restaurants, is a typical controlling husband who disregards Neela's desires and treats her as his property.

In a bid to escape her suffocating life, Neela leaves Kishanlal's house, only to face a future full of uncertainty. It is during this time that she meets Benoit Dupont, a handsome Frenchman with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a strong, fit physique. Neela falls for Benoit at first sight. Their love story blooms in the romantic streets of Paris, where they explore cafes, museums, and galleries together, writing a new chapter in the book of love.

However, as their relationship deepens, Neela comes to a heartbreaking realization: Benoit does not love her, but instead loves the idea of himself in a relationship with her. Like the other men in her life, Benoit is ultimately self-centered. This causes Neela to reflect on the words of Baudelaire's famous poem, "O Malabar's Girl," and to question the choices she has made in life. Yet, despite all the heartbreak and disillusionment, Neela refuses to accept defeat. She rises from her pain, determined to carve her own path and find her own way in the world.
