Inhaltsangabe

"I didn’t do it because he was your husband. I did it because he was my father. And I’m his son. I am My Father's Son."

Twelve years of silence. One afternoon of blood.

Gauri thought she had escaped the shadow of her husband’s violence. Fleeing a marriage shattered by radicalization and a name tied to a gangland war, she rebuilt her life in a quiet town. She gave her son, Shiv, a new story—a legend of a hero father who died too soon.

But in the crowded streets of India, secrets don't stay buried; they wait for the rain.

When a school trip to a planetarium ends in a brutal street execution witnessed by her son, Gauri’s fortress of lies begins to crumble. The victim wasn't a stranger. He was the man she spent a decade trying to forget.

As the boy of stars and kindness discovers the radioactive truth of his bloodline, Gauri must face a terrifying reality: You can run from a man, but you cannot run from the blood. In this haunting literary tragedy, a mother’s greatest act of love becomes her son’s greatest path to ruin.

• A Haunting Family Saga: Witness the slow erosion of a home built on a necessary fiction.

• Literary Noir: A gritty, atmospheric journey through the socio-political tensions of modern India.

• The Weight of Legacy: A devastating look at how the sins of the father find the son, even across decades of distance.

Perfect for readers of Khaled Hosseini, Rohinton Mistry, and Jhumpa Lahiri, My Father’s Son is a visceral story of love, legacy, and the jagged echo of a name that refuses to die.
