Sesher Kobita, the Last Poem

Sesher Kobita, known in English as Farewell, My Friend or The Last Poem, is a late novel of love among the modern educated class. Amit, a witty Calcutta barrister who loves words and ideas, meets Labanya, a serious and gentle young woman. Their bond grows through conversation and poetry. The book plays with verse inside prose and questions whether love should be fixed in marriage or kept free. It is light, playful and quietly moving.
