Ask a book lover about this copySet in early 20th-century Kolkata, the story centers on Lalita, a 13-year-old orphan living with her impoverished uncle, Gurucharan. She shares a deep, complex bond with her neighbor, Shekhar, the son of the wealthy and cunning businessman Nabin Roy.
The narrative follows:
The Secret Betrothal: In a childhood prank during a doll-wedding, Lalita and Shekhar exchange garlands, which Lalita takes seriously as a symbolic marriage.
Conflict: Tensions arise between their families over a loan and mortgage. Shekhar’s father schemes to separate them, while a new suitor, Girin, arrives and supports Lalita’s family, sparking Shekhar’s jealousy.
Resolution: After years of estrangement and misunderstandings caused by class differences and social pride, the two are eventually reunited when Shekhar finds the courage to acknowledge Lalita as his wife.
