Finding Home Again
About the Book
Can tragedy bridge the gulf between despair and acceptance?
When a train derails in flood-ravaged Assam, it disrupts the lives of Mridula, Maya, and Kranti. Amid the search for their loved ones in the wreckage, repressed shadows come to the fore.
Grey cityscapes blur into lush greens, and urban solitude turns into silent screams as their lives rotate between their physical homes and those of their dreams.
Straining to break free from the burden of childhood and shifting homelands, can they withstand the awareness that change often brings? Or will they seek refuge in their old selves—Mridula, in accustomed abuse; Maya, in denial; Kranti, in Maya?
Can the displaced find permanence in transiting homes?
What does it mean to belong?
