Summary, etc. A compelling anthology of ten translated Bengali fictional narratives set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Rajasthan. Drawing from her childhood experiences as the granddaughter of the Dewan of Jaipur, Jyotirmoyee Devi presents an eyewitness portrayal of gender and caste discrimination, power play, and social policing within both royal Rajput harems and common village households.<br/><br/>The stories explore systemic violence and domestic confinement, detailing the fates of child brides ("The Child Bride"), concubines ("The Queen and the Concubine"), royal eunuchs ("Ungendered"), veiled women in purdah, and victims of female infanticide ("The Princess Baby"). Translated for an international audience by Apala G. Egan, this collection shifts focus from the author's acclaimed Partition writings to document the lived realities, vulnerabilities, and quiet resilience of women navigating feudal patriarchy in Rajasthan.
