About the Book
The Boyfriend is a gripping Bengali psychological thriller that explores the complex emotional and mental landscapes of two women from entirely different generations. The narrative revolves around Koushani, a mature and accomplished psychiatrist in her forties, and Tithi, a young college student just stepping into adulthood. Though their lives appear vastly different—like sky and ocean—they are mysteriously connected through emotional turmoil, loneliness, and hidden darkness.

As night falls and silence takes over the city, suppressed thoughts and anxieties begin to surface. With the mind losing its balance and emotions spiraling out of control, the characters find themselves drifting toward dangerous psychological territories. Tithi becomes increasingly consumed by primitive impulses and inner aggression, while Koushani, burdened by emotional loss and isolation, withdraws from her familiar world in search of peace.

Set against the backdrop of a city where love and sin coexist, the novel examines the fragile boundaries between sanity and madness, desire and destruction. The story gradually unfolds layers of psychological tension, human vulnerability, and the consequences of emotional instability.

With its intense atmosphere, compelling characters, and suspenseful storytelling, this thriller keeps readers engaged till the very end, raising profound questions about the human psyche, loneliness, and the invisible forces that shape our actions.
