About the Book
This poignant volume presents the diary of an ordinary middle-class Bengali woman who chose to remain anonymous. Through deeply personal entries, the book chronicles her journey from childhood to womanhood, capturing moments of struggle, displacement, and emotional upheaval.

The diary becomes a cathartic space where the writer reflects on rootlessness and the suffering she encountered at different stages of life. While the narrative may seem intimate and simple on the surface, it gradually unfolds into a broader social canvas, revealing the lived realities of a particular historical moment.

What makes the book especially distinctive is that this autobiographical memoir is presented to readers by someone other than the author herself. The inclusion of the author’s own illustrations adds further depth, offering visual expressions of her inner emotions and perceptions.

Spanning 128 pages, this paperback stands as a moving testament to memory, identity, and the silent resilience of women’s lived experiences.
