Dr. Asrubala Dasgupta (1902 - 1970) was a physician in North Bengal. Not only did she defy prevalent norms to establish herself in a difficult profession at a difficult time under difficult circumstances, but also challenged the convention of the stereotypical mother-in-law. This book, capturing the memories of a grateful daughter-in-law as she strives to live this legacy herself, is a token of love from a woman, a daughter and a mother. Above all, Mother-in-Love is a gripping story of a life worth living.
