Synopsis:

For twenty-six years, Priyabrata lived under a false identity, keeping himself distant from family, friends, and colleagues. He built an impenetrable shell around himself, ensuring that no light, sound, or warmth from the outside world could breach his solitude. However, when Nirupama, the daughter of his childhood friend and a victim of assault, enters his life, his carefully constructed world begins to crack. The pressure of his suppressed identity and past mistakes force him to confront his true self, leading to an intense and gripping narrative.
Moti Nandi, known for his uncompromising, sharp, and realistic storytelling, delivers a thought-provoking addition to serious Bengali literature with Sada Kham, a novel that won the Sahitya Akademi Award.
