The Aunt Who Wouldn't Die by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay
3.0

A short story with three generations of women from the same family, their life and changes that occurred over the years or will happen.
Somlata is definitely my favourite as she wants to help her family and is looking forward to their future, overcoming her own inheritance and anxiety.
Boshon is the example of a nowadays carefree teenager that doesn't care for anything and anyone else but she and her behaviour is despicable at times.
Pishima is a widow that doesn't want to change her way of living or her inheritance.
It's definitely one of those stories that you want to read more about but at the same time, something else is missing.
