For 15 years, Apu Biswas played the perfect victim-heroine: the girl who loves endlessly, suffers silently, and waits for a man to fix her world. But in her real life, Apu refused to follow that script. When her real-life "hero" failed her, she picked up the pen herself.

From the traditional Bangladeshi bou (bride) to the fiery, modern lover, Apu’s characters have explored the entire spectrum of romance.
