Only one among them survived. But she turned into a hollow shell, because of the secret that was eating her inside. ‘Bitter’ is the story of a woman who escaped to India during the Bengal (India) partition of 1947 and saw better days but had to live with a bitter secret all her life. The story is narrated by her niece, a reluctant observer, who learns of her aunt’s escape from her elders and watches her grapple with nightmares from that day on.

Shut the Lights
A dark and unpredictable tale of family secrets... and the lengths we go to, to save the ones we love. For lovers of non-formulaic domestic noir. For this family, the lockdown came as a blessing. On 24 March 2020, with merely a four-hour notice, the Indian government declared a three-week lockdown as a containment measure for COVID-19. In terms of scale and severity, this lockdown was unparalleled worldwide. However, quite unexpectedly, for a family of four, cooped up in a plush Mumbai apartment, it came as a blessing. On the face of it, Suvini, Mridul, Damien, and Tara belonged to an upper-middle-class family, with its typical privileges and pressures. But inwardly, each of them held a dark secret that threatened to derail their very existence. And the shutting down of everything had given them the unique opportunity to get away with it. Or not. Inspired by actual events. Readers of Herman Koch, Elizabeth Haynes, and Leila Slimani will enjoy the book.
