Raised as the son of a devout, orthodox Hindu family, Gora is a passionate young nationalist certain of his beliefs and scornful of anything that smells of foreign influence, including the reformist Brahmo family whose daughter Sucharita has quietly captured his friend Binoy's heart. As Gora's convictions collide with friendship, love, and the rigid customs he has sworn to defend, a long-buried truth about his own birth threatens to unravel everything he believes about who he is. Tagore's most ambitious novel is a searching, generous portrait of identity, faith, and nationalism in a Bengal caught between tradition and change.
