Overview
"Chasing Shadows in Borrowed Light is a work of fiction that deals with friendships and mental health across countries. A group of four friends who went to school together separate following a painful event, are thrown far apart from each other. In an attempt to disengage, three leave the country, while one stays back. The story begins when one of them reaches out to another announcing she would not be around any longer. The novel deals with complex issues such as molestation, childhood trauma, sexual violence as well as suicide. It aims to discuss subjects that require a deep-dive into how difficult relationships can be and how does one make the choice to help or step away from a situation that doesn’t serve them." -- Abstract
