Set in 19th-century Bengal, it follows Mati, a strong-willed woman trapped in a cruel marriage to the violent Rajmohan. As she becomes entangled in a plot involving stolen documents, family secrets, and her love for her gentle brother-in-law Madhav, Mati's moral strength and courage are tested. The novel blends romance, social criticism, and suspense, portraying the oppression of women and the corruption in rural Bengali society. Through Mati, Bankim critiques patriarchy and colonial-era injustice, while laying the foundation for Indian English fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback \u0026amp; Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyan Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Rajmohan's Wife: A Novel available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes – \u003cem\u003eRajmohan's Wife: A Novel\u003c\/em\u003e is available here in Paperback and Hardcover; pick the one you want from the options above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote Rajmohan's Wife: A Novel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRajmohan's Wife: A Novel is written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
