About the book

The Tagore household is falling apart. Rabindranath cannot shake off the disquiet in his heart. His daughters and daughter-in-law struggle hard to cope with incompatible marriages, ill health and the stigma of childlessness. The extended family of Jorasanko is steeped in debt. Even as Rabindranath copes with his problems, news reaches him that he has been awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. Will this be a turning point for the man, his family and their much-celebrated home? Daughters of Jorasanko, the sequel to the bestselling Jorasanko, explores the histories of the Tagore women, even as it describes the twilight years in the life of one of the greatest luminaries of our time and the end of an epoch in the history of Bengal.
