About Book:
Born in a family in which no one else can read, Saman becomes a fearless writer, who knows that her words have the power to set paper ablaze. She picks up her pen, and writes with all her passion, the story of herself and Aman. Titled The Story of Us, her novel reaches Aman’s bedside, when his wife Sasha gives it to him as an anniversary present. Aman is then forced to confront his past, which he has left behind twenty years ago, burying it beneath his intense pursuit of a brilliant neurosurgical career. She spends two decades running after memories of their time together, as he spends the same running away from them. Aman and Saman remain in each other’s eyes—he as the sparkle in hers—cherished and welcomed, and she as the sand in his—gritty and blurring. The narrative touches on the spirit of sacrifice, the quest for education amidst poverty, the toil of surgical training in a foreign country, the grief of childlessness, and the power of true love. Torn Pages is a novel about the incomplete chapters of a story, and the quest to bring them together.
