The translation is a bit awkward, especially if you are unfamiliar with classical Hindi and Bengali prose. However, setting that aside, it was an elegantly beautiful story filled with lots of emotional motifs to fit the era. While it's a tragedy, it was still very, very good. Please note that if you're hoping for a novelization of the film, you'll be disappointed as it's the original story from 1917 that the film is derived from.
