Bookclub: Devdas by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhya

Starting 2026 off with a short read. We typically think of the blockbuster bollywood movie created by Sanjay Leela Bansali starring SRK, Madhuri Dixit, and Aishwarya Rai!

The 1917 novel written by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhya is the story of Devdas, a wealthy law graduate who returns from London to marry his childhood friend, Parvati "Paro". However, the rejection of their marriage by his own family sparks his descent into alcoholism, ultimately leading to his emotional deterioration and him seeking refuge with the golden-hearted courtesan Chandramukhi.
