"This novel is a mirror to a forgotten truth."
In a quiet corner of a crowded world, Umanath embarks on a final journey—not across mountains or rivers, but through a painful landscape of memory, betrayal, and dignity.
"Layers of Solitude, Fragments of Memory" is a soulful meditation on old age, abandonment, and rediscovery. As traditions erode under the weight of modernity, this poignant story highlights the lives that are often left behind—parents forgotten by children, the elderly silenced by convenience, and bonds broken by time.
But the story also resonates with a larger truth. As we abandon our elders, we abandon our earth. A warming planet, forests stripped of their wealth, birds and animals disappearing—these silences mirror the silences of the aged, both of whom are victims of neglect in a restless, profit-driven age.
Through Umanath's loneliness, Savita's heartbreak, and Riya's innocence, this story reveals the subtle tragedies of our evolving society—where love is replaced by duty, relationships by obligation, and nature itself becomes another forgotten guardian.
Tender, honest, and emotionally impactful, this book is for anyone who has loved, lost, or simply wondered what happens to those we leave behind—whether they are people, traditions, or the living earth that supports us.
