A novel on patriarchy and generational trauma

Patel's debut novel is a sincere attempt to give voice to underlying latent traumas while being realistic in her portrayal of familial bonding and hostility.

Leo Tolstoy famously said that “all happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”. Naheed Phiroze Patel’s debut novel, ‘A Mirror Made of Rain’, is about an unhappy family. Since there are myriad ways to be unhappy, this is one of a kind story with its peculiar kind of unhappiness.
