DiscoveReads book: The Things That We Lost by Jyoti Patel
Nik has lots of questions about his late father but knows better than to ask his mother, Avani. It’s their unspoken rule.
But when his grandfather dies, Nik has the opportunity to learn about the man he never met. Armed with a key and new knowledge about his parents’ past, Nik sets out to unlock the secrets that his mother has been holding onto his whole life.
The Things That We Lost is a beautifully tender exploration of family, loss and how far we will go to protect the ones we love.
