About the Book

Pashan Lake by Sweta Srivastava Vikram is a poignant and thought-provoking narrative that takes readers on an emotional journey of grief, love, and self-discovery. The story begins with Shaili Kapoor, a New York City-based writer, reeling from the shock of her mother Meena Kapoor’s unexpected death. Meena has drowned herself in Pashan Lake in Shaili's hometown of Pune, India, leaving a trail of unanswered questions and emotional turmoil.

As the plot unfolds, the book weaves together compelling tales of friendship, loyalty, love, and tradition, painting a vivid portrait of family dynamics, personal struggles, and cultural tensions. Shaili’s journey back to Pune becomes more than just a return to her roots—it is an exploration of the deep, sometimes hidden, connections that shape her identity and her relationships.

This gripping narrative explores how tragedy and trauma can lead to profound revelations about the people we love and the legacies they leave behind. With a mix of emotional depth and cultural insight, Pashan Lake is an unforgettable story that resonates with readers on a personal and reflective level.
