schoolboy's review against another edition
4.0
এই বইটার প্রতি কেমন যেন একটা মুগ্ধতা চলে আসে। সম্পূর্ণ দুইটা আলাদা ভাবধারার দুইটা ভাইয়ের জীবন কিভাবে যেন পাশাপাশি বয়ে চলে। অসাধারণ।

Bipradas - The man who would walk alone.
🍂
Thank you so much for the review copy @niyogi_books.
🍂
Translated from Bengali, this book was such a treat. This book is rich in literature and would certainly entice readers who love translated work. Set during the time of 1935, Bipradas is the story of a family who have high morals and how their life revolves around various religious and caste systems.
🍂
The protagonist is Bipradas, the eldest son of the family who is highly respectable for looking out for others in need and also who never breaks his principles of being moral at all times. His younger brother, Dwijadas, has always been a free spirited kind who has the least interest in anything materialistic. When Bandana, cousin of Bipradas's wife enters their lives, clashes erupts between her educated opinions and Bipradas's conservational ideas.
🍂
As she spends more time with the family, she bonds with them and comes to admire Bipradas. As life would have it, his family faces turmoil when a tragedy takes place and Bipradas leaves the house with his wife and son. Dayamoyee, his mother then leans on Bandana who has always been her favourite. The Mukhujye family barely survives the blows when Bandana steps in and brings the family together.
🍂
Being considered as a casteless woman, Bandana wins the entire family's heart and faith in a very short time. The Mukhujye family who follow caste system, entrusted their hope in her hands to bring the family on their feet once again. This story is unique and talks about how things were done back during the 20th century in villages. The morals and conflicts that a family holds, the various superstitions that people always used to consider, everything is in this book.
🍂
I however felt that few parts were dragged quite a bit especially when it came down to Bandana's opinions. The story was interesting and made me fall in love with literature. The characters were complicated yet well executed.
🍂
I would rate this book 4/5.
