What happens when love becomes a system of protection, and protection begins to feel like control?
Taraknath Awasthi has spent his entire life believing in duty, routine, restraint and responsibility. After decades of service, his modest home is built around the same principles. Every object has its place. Every rupee has a history. Every sacrifice has a purpose.
Then, one ordinary morning, Taraknath falls.
His son Pratyush is far away, building a successful life in the polished world of global finance, airports, corporate meetings and glass towers. When he learns that his father is seriously ill, he does what he knows best: he takes control.
Doctors are consulted. Hospitals are arranged. Money is transferred. Decisions are made.
Everything is organized to protect his father.
But as Taraknath enters a carefully managed new life, the difference between care and control becomes increasingly difficult to recognize. A family already carrying its own fractures is forced to confront questions that cannot be solved by money, technology or efficiency.
What does a child owe the parent who sacrificed everything for him?
When does responsibility become a debt?
Can love survive when one person believes that protecting another gives him the right to decide for them?
As old obligations, marriage, money, family expectations and buried memories surface, Pratyush is forced to confront the difference between solving someone's life and allowing them to live it.
OF SILT AND GLASS is a psychological family novel about aging, duty, money, identity, marriage, memory and the complicated architecture of love.
It is a story about fathers and sons, the invisible accounts families keep, and the quiet consequences of good intentions.
Ultimately, it asks a simple but difficult question:
When everything has been done for someone, what is left that still belongs to them?
OF SILT AND GLASS is for readers who enjoy emotionally layered family fiction, psychological drama, intergenerational conflict and stories about the difficult choices that exist between love, responsibility and freedom.
