The Ant Who Wouldn't Die
The Ant Who Wouldn't Die by Shorshendu Mukapatai is a novella that explores three generations of women in a family. Some Lotta, who married into the family, deals with the bitter ghost of her husband's deceased aunt, Pishima. Pishima frequently berates and taunts Some Lotta, but she remains calm and strategizes to overcome the family's struggles. She helps her husband open a successful shop and slowly wins over the family's approval. The novella then shifts to Boshan, a new generation born after Pishima's ghost disappears. The book ends with Boshan's storyline still open, leaving room for further exploration.
