Bed Teacher

When a huge wave wipes an oceanside Bengal village off the map, it leaves a little girl behind... Pom, a maid at an English boarding school, is named Sarah, and there the little girl discovers that she has a talent for foreign languages. When he goes to Kharagpur, almost all his dreams are destroyed and he finds himself in a secretive, corrupt world. Finally, she goes to Calcutta, takes the name Kamala and starts a new life for herself. Although success and love seem to be right at hand, he cannot escape the trap of who he really is and who he is not... India, on the other hand, is trying to throw off the British Empire. While Gandhi and others fight for the country's freedom, Kamala will use her hard-earned skills to fight for her country's freedom and her own happiness.

Sujata Massey has created a colorful story by weaving together the last years of the colonial period with the resilient struggle of a Bengali woman who fought for the independence of both herself and her country in India in the 1930s...
