Datta

Datta is one of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s most loved novels, a story of a young woman caught between three men who love her in very different ways. The book is set in early twentieth century rural Bengal, with all the social pressures and family arrangements that period brought with it.

It is a romantic novel, but Sarat Chandra never lets you forget the harder world the characters are living inside.
