Book Review: of The Distance by Saborna Roychowdhury

Saborna Roychowdhury’s debut novel The Distance tells a story of a 21st century woman caught up in a series of cultural networks, starting with those of traditional Bengali society, through the political demands (discontents) of certain sections of the society, through diasporic experiences in Canada and finally back into the 'third world' motherland only to realize an agonized selfhood.
