Our Liminal Spaces - Manco Poornima

How well do we really know the people closest to us?

In the burgeoning city of Gurgaon on the outskirts of Delhi, Radha, a young Indian wife, silently chafes against the suffocating strictures of her orthodox in-laws. Yearning to put her education to use, she feels trapped in the role of a dutiful wife, despite her deep love for her husband, Shyam.

Her life takes an unexpected turn when she befriends Mira, her independent and bohemian neighbour.

As their bond deepens, the trio-Radha, Shyam, and Mira-navigate the complexities of love, friendship, and betrayal. The choices they make will reverberate through their lives, challenging their beliefs about loyalty, forgiveness, and the true meaning of family.

Years later, as the characters' paths cross again, they must confront their pasts and the consequences of their actions.

Set against a backdrop of cultural expectations and personal aspirations, this novel delves into the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of second chances, revealing the profound lessons found within life's liminal spaces.
