After the phenomenal success of his soulful poem Rasulgarh Premika, which became a sensation across Odisha, poet and storyteller Biswa Mahapatra returns with his debut novel Sonalisha — a tender and evocative tale of love that transcends time and space.

Published by INKDEW, Sonalisha is more than just a love story; it’s a reflection of a generation torn between tradition and modernity, caught in the whirlwind of urban chaos and rural memories. With lyrical prose and emotional depth, Mahapatra weaves the journey of two souls—bound by fate, separated by circumstance, and united by love.

A must-read for anyone who believes in the magic of poetry within prose, Sonalisha stands as a testament to love’s quiet power and the enduring beauty of heartfelt storytelling.
