In eighteenth-century Bengal, the East India Company’s influence and power is growing; the treasuries of the zamindars are emptying out and their mansions crumbling. Young Raj Chandra Chowdhury remains oblivious to these epochal changes. He’s preoccupied with Rongomala, a low-born dancing girl. His uncle Rajendra Narayan sees a chance, conspiring to take over. Meanwhile, Raj Chandra’s childlike wife Phuleswari has developed a queer bond of sisterhood with her nemesis. In Beloved Rongomala, Shaheen Akhtar, one of Bangladesh’s most powerful feminist voices, turns a fading footnote from rural Bengal’s history into a saga of caste, class and gender that bristles with cinematic detail. Exquisitely translated by Shabnam Nadiya, this sprawling tale of passion, avarice and betrayal is one of the most memorable novels to come out of Bangladesh in recent years.
