Grain of Sand

«Grain of Sand» — the first novel of the great Rabindranath Tagore, Nobel laureate, poet, creator, and thinker, one of the titans of the Bengali Renaissance. It is a family story and a story of love, blossoming against cruel tradition, prejudices, pride, and humility. At the center of the narrative is the fate of a young widow, doomed to live in twilight, alienation, and humiliation. She is not allowed to laugh, love, or hope — only to atone for her «sin» before the family for her early widowhood until her grave. But the charming Binodini, nicknamed Grain of Sand — is intelligent, educated, and full of life. She wants to live her own life, love of her own choosing, and has the audacity to pursue her goal.
