Regrets: Letting Go - A Novel of Love, Loss, and Redemption
Do you ever wish you could change the past? Does the weight of your decisions linger, shaping the life you have today?
For Vish, a middle-aged man with a seemingly content life in the U.S., the past is about to resurface in a way he never imagined. Born in India, raised in the UK, and settled into the routines of marriage, fatherhood, and a career, Vish appears to have it all. But beneath the surface, unresolved regrets linger-especially one tied to the first love he was forced to abandon for the sake of tradition.
On a trip back to the UK for his niece's wedding-an event that breaks with the family's tradition of arranged marriages-a chance encounter unlocks painful memories of that lost love. Determined to reconcile the choices he made, Vish embarks on an emotional journey, reconnecting with past relationships in search of understanding and closure.
As Vish uncovers the heart-wrenching fate of his former lover and revisits the women who shaped his youth, he is forced to question the path his life has taken. Was his arranged marriage truly the right decision? And can he find peace with the life he's built, despite the "what-ifs" that haunt him?
Inspired by real-life events, Regrets: Letting Go is an unconventional blend of fiction and memoir, exploring the tensions between love, duty, and personal identity. Through the lens of cultural and familial expectations, it offers a poignant look at how our past choices ripple through time, shaping who we become. In this captivating novel, readers are invited to reflect on their own lives and the role that letting go plays in the search for happiness and fulfillment.
