Drawing the Drapes is a powerful and deeply moving collection of short stories that explores the fragile, intimate, and often unspoken spaces of human relationships—between parents and children, partners, friends, and the self. Through finely etched characters from the Indian diaspora and beyond, Ronita Sinha captures the quiet heartbreaks and quiet redemptions that shape ordinary lives: aging mothers and their uncertain futures, children navigating loss, couples caught between love and duty, and women carrying secrets that time cannot erase. With luminous prose, emotional precision, and scenes that linger long after the page, this book reveals how memory, grief, tenderness, and resilience weave through everyday existence. A profound, compassionate, and beautifully crafted collection that resonates with anyone who has ever loved, lost, or longed for belonging.
