| Summary, etc | When Durgadas, an ordinary businessman from Delhi, is arrested for murder<br/><br/>in Lucknow, the lives of the people he left behind-his family and friends-<br/><br/>unravel in unexpected ways. As they fight to prove his innocence and deal<br/><br/>with the upheaval in their lives, they find themselves turning against each<br/><br/>other. Taranath, his eldest son, searches for meaning and strength in religion<br/><br/>and ritual when the law seems to fail him. Rajnath, his younger son, finds<br/><br/>his marriage with his wife, Neela, coming undone when they decide against<br/><br/>having a child until Durgadas is acquitted. His youngest daughter, Chaand,<br/><br/>struggles with her attraction towards Vimal, the much older family friend and<br/><br/>Durgadas's confidant. Vimal's integrity and Chaand's loyalties are tested as<br/><br/>people around them try to drive them apart.<br/><br/>Fragments of Happiness follows the tumult of ordinary people learning about<br/><br/>their own power and helplessness in the face of extraordinary circumstances.<br/><br/>Originally published in Hindi in 1973 as Seemayein Tootati Hain-five years<br/><br/>after the cult classic Raag Darbari-with this novel Shrilal Shukla proves<br/><br/>himself to be as great a master of tragedy as he was of satire. |
