Through their fragmented perspectives, the novel beautifully unpacks the silent sacrifices and unacknowledged love that define motherhood, revealing a complex portrait of family, memory, and the true meaning of home. This poignant narrative is a powerful meditation on love, loss, and the often-overlooked lives of our parents.
