After writing several short stories and publishing them as a few collections, certain characters refused to leave me. They wouldn't let me sleep, nor let me engage in any other work-they stayed deeply embedded in my mind. This novel is the result of that. In life, it's rare to meet such people who leave that kind of lasting impact. This is my first attempt at writing a full-length novel. Centered around both biological and non-biological mothers, this novel introduces readers to various cities and ways of life. I consider this effort a success. In English, one might call it a Magnum Opus-a 'great work' or 'masterpiece'-and I have poured great effort into crafting it as such. I shall always seek the love and support of my readers.- Murali
