Poison Tree

A devastating triangle of love unfolds in colonial Bengal, where one woman's quiet devotion battles against the fire of passion. Suraj Mukhi has given her entire self to her husband Nagendra, content to disappear into the shadows of his needs. But when the radiant Kunda Nandani enters their lives, Nagendra finds his solid marriage dissolving into dangerous obsession. Kunda Nandani carries her own innocent love for Nagendra, while the lascivious Debendra pursues her with relentless hunger. What begins as a story of domestic contentment becomes a腐蚀 of the soul, as desire poisons everything it touches. Bankim Chandra Chatterjee weaves a psychological portrait of extraordinary subtlety, examining how love can coexist with betrayal, and how the purest intentions curdle into something toxic. The title proves devastatingly earned: some trees grow poison from their most beautiful flowers.
