a truly heart rending tale of two little girls, inseparable as only sisters ( yup, you guessed it, they actually aren't ) could be.
set in where else, india, it starts off with anju and sudha as babies... and ends with one being coveted by the others husband. hehe... just a viewpoint expressed, not that that's the whole gist of the story.
well, the gist is, being set in india, calcutta to be exact, it describes the girls growing up experiences, how they cope with ungainly and unasked for knowledge ( or rather, how one of them does ) and how it affects their relationship. from falling in love with the greatest love of their life ( a total stranger in a cinema, yup, its indian fiction, dude! ) to sacrificing their all.... sob sob... its really a most interesting read.
incidentally, chitra banerjee is the author of mistress of spices, which has recently been made into a movie starring d beautiful aishwarya rai ( yup, i'm a girl, and i was drooling! ) so... do go watch that, AND read this, k! much better!
