[Sense & Sensuality]

Esteemed Friends,

One of our friends, Dr. Sarojini Sahoo's novel, The Dark Abode, which received some controversy in India, is now published again with second edition and the publisher has posted it at SCRIBD, a website, from which any one can download it at free of cost.

In Sarojini's words:

"This novel is on the relationship of an Indian housewife and a Pakistani painter. But the novel does not confine with such a relationship. It widens its landscape to religions, societies and countries. The Hindu fundamentalists rose their voice against this novel. But when it was translated into Bengali and published from Bangladesh under the title "Mithya Gerosthali" (ISBN No :984 404 287-9), despite its conservative nature, the book received a wide response throughout the country. It has been translated into English. The first edition was exhausted within a year. The English version is a collage presentation of my novel with American poet painter Ed Backer's sketches 'The Uma.'

If possible, please read this novel from http://www.scribd.com/doc/13579559/The-Dark-Abode   

 I am longing to read you, readers'/critics' opinion on that novel."
