A Tale of Two Houses in Kolkata

They grew up in the same lane, ate off the same plates, and loved like siblings – two families bound so tightly that everyone assumed they’d become one. Then politics did what the British Raj couldn’t: it broke them. One father marches with Gandhi. The other burns for Bose. When a wedding toast turns into a public humiliation, an engagement dies in a single evening – and with it, seven years of friendship. Arun and Uma were supposed to be married. Instead, they become strangers living two lanes apart. But Kolkata in 1946 doesn’t care whose side you were on. When the city turns on itself, two proud families who haven’t spoken in years find they need each other to survive – and somewhere between the fires, the silence finally breaks. A story of love, loyalty, and the price of pride – set against the last days of the Raj and the first, bloody days of freedom. Will seven years of silence survive one night that changes everything? — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: A Tale of Two Houses in Kolkata — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
