What secrets lurk in a family's past--and how important are they in
the here and now? Sudha Murty's new book comprises two novellas
that explore two quests by two different men--both for mothers they
never knew they had. Venkatesh, a bank manager, stumbles upon his
lookalike one fine day. When he probes further, he discovers his
father's hidden past, which includes an abandoned wife and child.
Ventakesh is determined to make amends to his impoverished
stepmother--but how can he repay his father's debt? Mukesh, a young
man, is shocked to realize after his father's death that he was
actually adopted. He sets out to find his biological mother, but
the deeper he delves, the more confused he is about where his
loyalties should lie: with the mother who gave birth to him, or
with the mother who brought him up. The Mother I Never Knew is a
poignant, dramatic book that reaches deep into the human heart to
reveal what we really feel about those closest to us.
