Abandoned on a wild stretch of coast as a child and raised by a solitary ascetic, Kapalkundala knows nothing of ordinary life until a shipwrecked traveler named Nabakumar washes up near her hermitage. He marries her and takes her home to his village, but the world of courtyards and kinship cannot hold a woman raised by the sea and the forest. A sinister tantric who once cared for her has his own designs on her fate, and as old ties refuse to loosen, Kapalkundala is pulled between two lives neither of which can save her. One of Bankimchandra's most haunting and poetic novels.
