Synopsis "The Things That We Lost"

Nik has lots of questions about his late father but knows better than to ask his mother, Avani. It's their unspoken rule. When his grandfather dies, Nik now 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.

As the carefully crafted portrait Avani has painted for her son begins to crack, and painful truths emerge, can the two of them find their way back to each other?

The Things That We Lost is a beautifully tender exploration of family, loss and the lengths we go to, to protect the ones we love.

Jyoti Patel es una escritora británica de ascendencia india cuya obra destaca por explorar identidad, duelo y memoria desde una sensibilidad íntima y precisa. Formada en escritura creativa, ha desarrollado una voz que combina observación social con un estilo lírico, atento a los silencios familiares y a los matices culturales de la diáspora. Su irrupción en el panorama literario llamó la atención por la madurez emocional de su prosa y por la manera directa en que aborda la pérdida y la reconstrucción personal.

Ganó el Merky Books New Writers Prize 2021, reconocimiento que impulsó la publicación de su primera novela, The Things That We Lost. En este libro despliega un relato intergeneracional donde la identidad se configura a través de ausencias, secretos y vínculos quebrados. Además de su trabajo narrativo, Patel participa en proyectos de formación literaria y mentorías para nuevos autores, reafirmando su compromiso con ampliar las voces representadas en la ficción contemporánea.
