When Aashna loses everything and her parents refuse to love her, she’s sent to a shelter home for wildflowers. Eventually, she realizes she left her heart open and someone decided to break into it. But every time she goes back home, she meets an absence that won’t let her sleep and a nightmare of a presence. She lives like an autumn tree and wears grief around her neck. Painfully tired of the hurt, she becomes who her mother could never be—a leaver.
Tender, piercingly intimate and unforgettable, I Cannot Say Goodbye to You doesn’t begin when Aashna loses everything. It begins centuries ago, when men first silenced women, when children were first taught to worship their fathers and when fathers learnt to hurt their children.
This is the story of Aashna—a child without a childhood, always close to hope but never truly hopeful.
