About the book
Three siblings in 2010s Kolkata: Avik (17), Mou (16), and Ishaan (8), grapple with their lives when their single mother, Deepa, disappears, leaving behind a note asking them to not look for her.
While Avik and Mou try to take care of Ishaan, earn a living, and not get caught by authorities, they also try to put together pieces of the puzzle to figure out the woman who was their mother and the mystery behind her disappearance.
While struggling with these issues, the teenagers find love, experience heartbreak, and come to terms with some of their own deeper truths.
What if society’s construct of the image of an all-sacrificing mother is skewed?
Can a woman want more than her identities of a daughter, a wife, and a mother?
Can we love and accept our parents even if they’re deeply flawed humans with their own dreams and desires?
