Friends From College
Friends From College follows Charulata Ghosh, now known as Lata, as she returns to Calcutta from London and reunites with a circle of childhood friends. This lush, lyrical contemporary novel explores friendship, love, and the bittersweet pull of memory set against the bustling streets of Calcutta in the nineties. It is written for adult readers who savor literary fiction and intimate tales of coming home, with a tone that is nostalgic, hopeful, and tender.
Structured with intertwined timelines, Friends From College moves between past and present, letting readers watch Lata and Aaduri Bagchi—an old friend and lapsed books editor navigating a shifting world of journalism—redefine their bond as they confront old wounds and unspoken feelings. The reappearance of Ronny Banerjee, a star filmmaker and Lata's ex, heightens the drama as a family wedding becomes the catalyst for laughter, reconciliation, and long-buried secrets beginning to surface. Devapriya Roy's evocative prose captures the Calcutta of the nineties in vivid color—the river at dusk, busy bookshops, and the music of street life—so the city itself feels alive as memories surface.
In this intimate, character-driven journey, the book blends storytelling with a sense of place, delivering warmth and depth that linger after the last page. Readers will meet a cast of friends and family who feel real, with relationships that shift as the past and present collide, inviting reflection on how memory shapes who we become.
- A richly drawn ensemble centered on Lata, Aaduri, and Ronny
- Dual timelines that weave past and present into a single, emotional arc
- Vivid, cinematic writing that brings Calcutta’s streets, markets, and river light to life
- Themes of friendship, love, nostalgia, and the challenges of growing up
- A wedding as a turning point that unlocks secrets, humor, and heart
After finishing Friends From College, readers carry the warmth of old friendships long after the last page, feeling a renewed sense of belonging and a belief that memory, when cherished, can illuminate the present in surprising ways.
