Description
It Does Not Die A Romance by Maitreyi Devi is a powerful and moving account of first love and cultural conflict. In this deeply personal response to her father's novel, Bengal Nights, Devi recreates the confusion of an over-educated child confronting sex and the differences between European and Indian cultures. Against a rich backdrop of life in an upper-caste Hindu household, Devi powerfully describes a romance unfolding in the face of cultural constraints. Her story is one of thwarted love, set against the complexities of misunderstandings between a European man and an Indian girl, as well as student and teacher, husband and wife, father and daughter. A fascinating exploration of cultural conflict and its impact on personal relationships, It Does Not Die is a thought-provoking and deeply moving read.
