Khwabnama
Arunava Sinha
This powerful book transports readers to Bengal in the 1940s, where peasants are uniting amidst scarcity, violence, and political upheaval. At the center of it all is a young farmhand who dreams of a future linked to the land he cultivates, but whose hopes are shaped by memories and the history of his people. Blending magical realism, legend, and the struggle of marginalized communities, this magnum opus is a breathtaking tale of resilience and hope in the face of adversity.

Confessing a personal weakness for big fat books by authors from my part of the world.
Two from last year, aside from the wondrous heartbreak of Tomb of Sand: Khwabnama, by Akhtaruzzaman Elias, translated by @arunava, and Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih's miraculous Funeral Nights. – source
