About The Book

In this emotionally charged novel, Saoli returns to India after the wreckage of her broken marriage, seeking solace in her grandfather's house. As she cleans and renovates the house, she stumbles upon a mysterious old diary, possibly belonging to Bitasta's mother, Panchali. The diary contains a cryptic poem, written in the ancient dactylic hexameter, a rhythm used in the Greek epics. Intrigued, Saoli embarks on a quest to decode the poem and uncover its hidden truths.

Saoli learns of a long-held family secret: the deep-rooted tension between Parush, the son of Sairandhri, and the woman who once prohibited him from marrying Bitasta. As Parush reveals the torment of his past—a life filled with unrequited love, strained relationships, and a chaotic corporate journey in the US—Saoli begins to piece together the mysteries locked within the verses of the poem. Why did Sairandhri oppose Parush’s love for Bitasta? Why did Bitasta hold such an important place in the family’s history?

As they work together to unravel these questions, Saoli and Parush discover dark secrets about their pasts and forge a connection that transcends time and misunderstandings. This gripping narrative weaves love, mystery, and heartbreak with a lyrical beauty, making it a story you won't soon forget.
