  Bhuvan and Yasoda, the poor peasant couple, have been expecting their first child after a series of miscarriages triggered by malnutrition and hunger. The pregnancy has become complicated owing to the same curse, and it needs expensive medical intervention to sustain. Poverty and hunger have left them with no choice but to pray for divine interventions to pull this through. Bhuvan desperately looks for every avenue to earn to tide over his frugal means, but village politics and administrative corruption robs him of all opportunities. He turns to people for monitory help but none obliged. 
  As things turn pretty hopeless, Bhuvan meets a stranger who strangely seems aware of Bhuvans' plight. What is more, the stranger voluntarily offers every possible assistance to help Bhuvan ride over the crisis but makes it clear that help comes at a cost – some unknown service that Bhuvan has to render in exchange which he cannot decline later. Desperate, Bhuvan accepts the bait to try saving his beloved wife and possibly their first child. 
  The time comes to return the favor when the stranger escorts Bhuvan to an unknown destination in the darkness of the night. There, Bhuvan confronts his destiny and is petrified to realize his proverbial moment of truth that is ready to test his character and resolve in honoring his commitment as a return favor. 
  Tune in to this pulsating psychological thriller from "MyStoryGenie" Bengali Audiobooks series to witness an intense drama of eternal human dilemma between relationship and responsibility.

  In "Floor Plans," a woman at the end of her marriage tests her power when she inadvertently befriends the neighbor trying to buy her apartment. In "Appetite," a sixteen-year old grieving her mother's death experiences first love and questions how much more heartbreak she and her family can endure. In "Dinosaurs," a recent widower and a young babysitter help each other navigate how much they have to give—and how much they can take—from the people around them. 
  Through stories that are at once empathetic and unexpected, these women and girls defiantly push the boundaries between selfishness and self-possession. With a fresh voice and bold honesty, Back Talk examines how narrowly our culture allows women to express their desires.

  In Send Her Back and Other Stories, Munashe Kaseke offers an awfully intimate, fresh telling of the immigrant black woman experience in the United States, equally awash with a myriad of challenges as well as the joys of exploring a new world. With sumptuous candor, her complicated, and often tangled, female Zimbabwean protagonists navigate issues of identity, microaggressions, and sexism in vibrant and indelible settings, and at times a tense US political climate. Yet again, these are not only stories of overcoming, they're also marked by characters who've risen to the top of their professional fields, seized the American dream, and who travel the world in glee. Kaseke peels back on the inner wranglings of characters caught between two worlds be it by stories of dating outside one's culture and race or failing to assimilate upon returning home after spending time abroad. Uncanny. Witty. Gripping. Send Her Back and Other Stories dazzles, leaving you newly awakened to the world we live in.
