An idealistic Bengali husband encourages his tradition-minded wife to venture out into the world, leading to her political awakening and attraction to a charismatic leader. This brilliantly poetic 1916 novel unfolds against the backdrop of the Partition of Bengal, during India's fight for independence from British rule, reflecting Tagore's own inner conflict between embracing Western ideas and rejecting its domination.
