On the eve of Partition, Kalyani is compelled to leave Mymensingha and come away to Kolkata, where she never settles down or feels at home. Her journey back to Bangladesh reveals to her that her homeland had existed merely in her imagination and that she must share the fate of millions of others who have left one country for another, and do not belong to either. Kalyani’s story is a paradigm of loss and displacement, of the failure to connect, which is the experience of migration.
