A List of Offences - Paperback

by Dilruba Z. Ara (Author)

When Daria is born with silver hair, the village gossips of Gulab Ganga predict a life of misfortune for the freakish baby girl. As a headstrong young woman, she marries the first handsome man she meets and moves with him to Chittagong. Trapped in a city household whose modern, irreligious ways represent everything that her traditional village home did not, Daria finds herself with nowhere to turn. But when she gives birth to her own baby daughter, she knows she must challenge deep-rooted Bengali prejudices and forge a different life for her child.
