About the Book: Avtar Kaur (Bibiji) travels to her brother’s funeral in Ludhiana, reminiscing about her lost family and an India she feels has lost its way since Independence. Driven by her chauffeur, Nachhatar, she mourns the loss of her loved ones—including her sister Hardev and brother Gurmukh. “A River Runs Back” is a poignant, spare tale of memory, loss, and the fragile connection to vanishing roots.
