Set on a Bengali noble's estate in 1908, this is both a love story and a novel
of political awakening. The central character, Bimala, is torn between the
duties owed to her husband, Nikhil, and the demands made on her by the radical
leader, Sandip. Her attempts to resolve the irreconciliable pressures of the
home and world reflect the conflict in India itself, and the tragic outcome
foreshadows the unrest that accompanied Partition in 1947.
