Biraj, a devoted wife in a village in Hooghly, keeps her husband Nilambar's house together while his easy nature and his debts wear it away. Sarat Chandra's novella of 1914 is a close look at a poor household and the strains of a marriage that has nothing to spare. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Summary written with Claude Sonnet 5.5.
