🌼This book throws light on the very complex and discussed case of Bawal Raja, where the price of Bawal of years of going missing allegedly comes back as a sanyasi and now it is the question for everyone whether he was an imposter or really the Prince of Bhawal along with three strongly portrayed women- Jyotirmayee Devi, Sarajubala Devi and Bibhatibati Devi.

🌺

🌼Bibhatibati Devi put up the strong front of being the chief opposition and the British colonial state quietly working to contest his claim which thereafter resulted a long process of court trial in order to prove the plaintiff's true identity also without Sarajubala Devi's financial help he would not have been able to afford to fight and appeal in the high court and if Jyotirmayee Devi hadn't believed him to be her brother and gone ahead with her conviction the case wouldn't have gained momentum.

🌼The story is well written which doesn't feel too bookish yet is done with immersive research and upholds the legal fiasco.

🌷The story introduces us with Aditi and her emotional entanglement and devotion towards her Rabi ,and Sashi along their fractured relationship which becomes a prism through which love is examined, dissected, and ultimately redefined binding all with philosophy, human psyche, desires and ambition. I enjoyed the way the story has been narrated juggling between timelines of the characters past with all its sweet memories and regrets, creating a nostalgic and melancholic atmosphere.

💌

🌷Two individuals with their complex lives and shared history of more than two decades finds themselves on the threshold of the house they once built awaiting one to cross it and separate from eachother but when the court gave them a 6 months cooling of period they decide to have lunch together here we get to delve deep into their stories of personal ambitions and intimate needs all collides on this final date making us witness to a journey of love.

💌 

🌷I love how Tagore has been inter-woven with this story, the characters and it was definitely not how I expected it to be so it was for me a really sweet, intriguing surprise of exploration of Tagore’s poetry and philosophy woven into the narrative reflecting on identity, grief, and legacy with emotional resonance.

💌 

🌷Yet Remember me weaves personal tragedy with intellectual inquiry with layers of poetry, philosophy and emotions making this book a compelling choice. It’s not just a story that narrates about the end of a relationship but rather questions “when a husband dies, does his wife truly become a widow if her heart has long loved another?”, how love always doesn't need to have its physical existence but lingers long after the final page is turned.
