This book has all the pain and struggles a woman faces in an abusive marriage. Despite the fact that many people value arranged marriage more not all relationships end up well. Kaberi was married to a man she hardly knew and it is only after the relationship turns out to be disastrous that she asks him if he loved her. She relocates to Bengaluru from Guwahati with her husband and soon adjusts to her life in the flat. She had to live under the same roof as her unloyal husband who is deeply in love with his mistress. She tries to hide her pregnancy from everyone but gradually is revealed. The childhood memories with her long-lost friend Joya besides the Bhramaputra is so overwhelming.
Why do people still live in an abusive relationship-maybe it is a hope that this will change, or it could be the thought of how society takes it. But Kaberi is determined to move out. She is an ordinary strong woman, independent, ambiguous sometimes, and accommodating other times. The intimate conversation with her to-be-born kid is so sweet that it makes the book unputdownable.
