50 Priyo Golpo

50 Priyo Golpo brings together fifty of Ashapurna Devi’s favourite stories, drawn from across her long writing life. Ashapurna Devi was best known for her novels, especially the Pratham Pratisruti trilogy, but her short stories show another side of her, often quieter and sharper.

The stories are about ordinary lives, mostly in middle class Bengali homes, and the small adjustments people make to live with each other.
