Unreal -- the perfect word to describe this book that is inspired by 'real' events of our Liberation War of 1971.

When Cartoonist Ahsan Habib, Publisher/Editor of the 40-year-old Fun-Satire Magazine UNMAD, a living legend started writing, his works were mostly humorous. But in between, he has been showing his strength in novel and short-story (fictions) writing as well.

In this Novel, Habib has clearly explored a new dimension of his style of writing. Besides the central character, this Novel is full of many short lived characters playing significant roles.

Even though Mojnu is the main character, at the very end, due to circumstances, the focus changes completely and something else becomes the heart of the story.

There are two things that makes this book a MUST READ and a MUST READ AGAIN- one is the writer an artist as well – Habib used vivid colours and descriptions of events that would leave an imprint on the readers mind.

Secondly, Habib was a child of class six during the war and has seen the killing spree of the Pakistani Army and their employed Rejakars, as well as the struggling and finally the victorious 'Mukti Bahini'!

One will get a taste of love, betrayal, a thrilling war, spine chilling moments of enemies going face to face, murders, losing friends forever, taking revenge, and what not. Grab the book now!
