Middle class, middle aged, multicultural mother of millennial sons, Sudha lives a ‘squeezed middle’ life in Wimbledon. As she navigates her career, family and returning to India as a NRI (Non-Resident Indian), she is prompted to investigate her own sense of home and place in the world.

This gifted storyteller poignantly shares the memories of those mentors and teachers who profoundly influenced her life. She speaks of her voluntary muteness as a child.

Written across years and places—from Italy to Chicago to the shifting neighborhoods of San Francisco—these brief pieces preserve ordinary life with uncommon attentiveness: an afternoon in a mischievous Fiat, commuters bound by tacit ritual, a house that disappeared without warning, a mother writing to children she worries will forget they were loved, a recipe rescued while no one was paying attention, and a city corner where children speak Italian. Each vignette stands alone while covertly conversing with the others, forming a mosaic of lived experience.

Ma un amore dove la guerra e l'odio sono proscritti, dove il silenzio è possibile." L'amicizia, occasionale o fedele, è un sentimento che non tollera alcuna mancanza. È un atto di fede totale nell'altro, al punto che il suo tradimento è vissuto come una forma silenziosa di assassinio. Tahar Ben Jelloun esplora questo giardino segreto, le sue meraviglie e le sue ferite, e per farlo racconta di sé: dall'infanzia a oggi.
