Considered a modern classic this novel appeared in the early fifties. With it started the trend of regional novel in Hindi. Here the narrative focuses less on the lives of the individuals and more on the life experienced by the region of northern Bihar as a whole. Like other novels of that period, this also deals with the hopes and anxieties of a newly independent country. The tension between the so called mainstream and the tribal people also come in the picture. The beauty of the novel, however, lies in the fact that it is a very tender love story as well. Other stories run parallel to this one, and we get glimpses of the silent changes being brought out in the life of the region by the forces of transformation as well as that of stagnation.

The language of the novel so rooted and innovative, that it is a reader’s delight as well as a translator’s challenge.
