Fireflies In the Mist
Qurratulain Hyder
81-88965-52-9,
Rs. 350 Pb
Subtle and intricately structured,
Fireflies spans nearly four decades of East
Bengal's history. At the heart of this
many-centred novel is Deepali Sarkar, a
young Hindu attracted to the extreme left
wing of the nationalist movement, and
Rehan Ahmed, a Muslim radical of Marxist
inclinations who introduces her to the life
of the rural deprived. Through them, Hyder
explores the growth of tension between Bengal's
Hindus and Muslims who had once shared a culture
and a history. |
