• This is the inspiring story of Mouri, an extraordinary girl. As she steps into adulthood, she experiences the ups and downs of life, such as celebrations and joy, but also the sorrow of leaving her home in Kolkata. Her story unfolds against a backdrop of music and rain, and though she is affected by cerebral palsy, Mouri embodies strength and resilience.
• Mouri’s parents, Anirban and Pragya, face the challenge of raising a daughter with a disability. They provide her with love, care, and a constant sense of support. Despite her condition, Mouri grows into a fighter, determined not to succumb to sympathy or pity.
• The novel is not just about Mouri’s triumph in the battle for self-establishment, but also about recognizing the heart’s inner strength as the ultimate force. Her journey is a powerful statement of overcoming adversity, breaking societal norms, and embracing one’s identity as a whole.
