In The Light of Darkness
Blurb
Twenty years ago, Susan Pereira had to send her only child Matthew, to a faraway boarding school. That one decision brought their relationship to a cul de sac, which she still hasn’t been able to break out of. Matthew is too distant and too angry to relent. Meera Vashisht’s misguided love left her bruised, shattered, and abandoned, only to be found and healed by Susan.
Set on a fictional Indian island paradise called Bydore, In The Light of Darkness is a journey of broken souls looking for closures and new beginnings. Does Susan manage to win back her son? Does Matthew find the future his mother hoped he would? Does Meera finally get away from her past?

- Dr. Santosh Bakaya, Poet and Author
"Shiny gem, that's what I would call the debut novel that I savoured in the past week. Scattered throughout the book 'In the light of Darkness' were words and lines that made me read and re read the pages then mark them to be read again in times to come."

"The book is a tearjerker but in totally empathetic way. I hate crying when I see movies or read books. But here, admittedly I was crying unabashedly while reading. At one point I realized I was crying so much that I needed to grab the tissue paper by the kitchen counter. However, I brushed off that thought – since it meant breaking off from reading to do that. So I stayed put and wept myself throughout the dark hours of the night. Oh yes, even the setting matched the title of the book."
