I've had the chance to speed read parts of the Durgeshnandini translation and, I'd heartily recommend it to anyone who'd love to read a reasonably rich and complex novel. The caveat is that since I've read the Bengali and, other works from Bankim, I'd probably be prejudiced :) -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog/>
