The Bengali Inheritance tells the story of two estranged Bengali brothers--Amit and Rohan--as they reunite on their father's deathbed and must reconcile their divergent memories of him. Rohan remembers a loving father who doted on him, while Amit remembers a harsh and critical father who never showed his affection. As they come to understand each other, they also learn about their families' remarkable history and the sacrifices they made to build a prosperous empire. The Bengali Inheritance is a story of family, love, and loss, and is a beautifully written tribute to the power of storytelling.; 8vo; 255 pages.
