"The Glass House" by Chanchal Sanyal is a mesmerizing read that captivated me from beginning to end. Sanyal's writing style is vivid, evocative, and emotionally charged, and he skillfully weaves together complex themes of family, love, identity, and societal norms in a way that feels both authentic and relatable.
The story centers around the lives of two brothers, Rajat and Tapan, who were raised in a traditional Bengali family in Kolkata. As the brothers navigate their way through life, they encounter a myriad of challenges that force them to confront their own beliefs and values, and ultimately lead them to question the very foundations of their familial and cultural traditions.
What I loved most about this book was how Sanyal delves deeply into the psyche of his characters and paints a vivid portrait of the cultural and societal norms that shape their lives. The story is infused with moments of tenderness, heartbreak, and raw emotion, and the characters are so well-drawn that it's impossible not to feel a deep connection to their struggles.
Overall, I would highly recommend "The Glass House" to anyone who is looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant read. Sanyal's writing is beautiful and lyrical, and his exploration of complex themes is both nuanced and insightful. This is a book that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page.
