Description

Child brides, young widows, and women caught in the netherworld between life and death - female characters fill the pages of Tagore's short stories. This original translation includes six classic Tagore stories featuring women characters: Subha is mute, and people think she is defective -- what will happen when she must get married? The skeleton used to be a beautiful woman -- she was widowed as a child and spent her youth shut away from the world - one rainy night the skeleton comes back to tell her story. Ratan tries her best to serve the young postmaster - what will happen to their friendship when he leaves? Mrinmoyi enjoys her free-spirited life as the village tomboy -- until she is forced to get married. Eight year old Uma loves to write but her husband's family does not approve-- can she keep writing? Kadambari is a young widow - when her heart stops beating her family thinks she is dead - will her family realize she is still living?
