A profound exploration of people trying to piece their broken selves together, this novel celebrates life in all its guises, and what comes after. Alice's ancestral home is crumbling. As her grandmother lies on her deathbed, and her relationships with her alcoholic mother and extended family members grow strained, Alice finds herself haunted by a spectral visitor. The ghost's cryptic and friendly whispers lead her on a journey to India, where long-buried family secrets lie in wait. Her fiancé, psychiatrist Ronit Roy, is troubled by Alice's obsession with the supernatural. Yet, he finds himself irresistibly drawn into the labyrinth of secrets entwining her family's past. Together, they embark on a mission to India, seeking answers that lie at the precarious intersection of the living and the dead. As the future beckons, Alice finally confronts a question that will change her life: will unearthing these hidden truths bring her closer to understanding herself and mend her familial bonds, or will the weight of the past prevent her from moving forward?
