  • The Last Burden is a novel by Upamanyu Chatterjee which portrays life in an Indian middle-class family. In this novel, he travels the lives of different people constituting a joint family, expertly portraying their emotions, needs and desires. This is a portrayal of the financial, social and emotional problems that make people favor an atomic family in contrast to a joint family as was the predominant practise in India. The author uses somewhat strong language but definitely makes the readers aware of the actual tensions that exist within the joint family structure. It elegantly portrays the decisions and sacrifices made by different people in a family and the frictions and the frustrations thereby. It also portrays the struggle of the newer generation in order to move into an atomic family structure from a strictly hierarchical joint family structure while struggling to make amends with the darkness of their soul. The novel talks about Jamun, a work less young man, his old father, Shyamanand, his dying mother, Urmila, and other members of his family. The novel opens at the death bed of Urmila and takes you through the story of this middle-class family. (en)
