Mirrors cover

In Mirrors, Shika embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery, driven by her father's death and a mother's hidden secrets.

In Mirrors, a poignant letter from a mother to her daughter unfolds a life-altering secret, setting the stage for a profound exploration of identity and self-discovery. As the narrative unfolds, we meet Shika, a woman who finds herself ensnared in a loveless marriage, thousands of miles from home. This juxtaposition of lives highlights the universal quest for truth and connection, as Shika grapples with her own sense of belonging and the shadow cast by her sister's memory.

Shika's life takes a dramatic turn following her father's death, prompting her to confront the buried questions of her past. She embarks on a journey across the globe, ultimately leading her to the bustling heart of Kolkata. This quest is not just about uncovering family secrets; it is a deeper exploration of who she is and who she could be. Through her travels, Shika begins to piece together the fragments of her identity, challenging the constraints of her previous life and seeking to understand the 'missingness' she has felt.

Mirrors weaves together themes of love, loss, and the struggle for self-acceptance. As Shika navigates her way through her family's history and her own heart, the story invites readers to reflect on their own identities and the truths that shape them. It is a moving testament to the power of discovery and the enduring bonds of family.
