We Were Never There at Platform Nine at First Light

By Prashant Mishra

When Diya Patil receives a wedding invitation for a marriage no one admits ever happened, her quiet bookshop in Varanasi becomes the centre of a secret that has been buried for years. The return of Arjun Mehta, a musician searching for his missing father, forces Diya to confront a love she walked away from and a conspiracy that reaches from a university professor's desk to the margins of donated novels. With seventy-two hours left before a legal deadline destroys every thread of proof, Diya and Arjun must decide how far they will go to protect the truth and whether they can trust each other long enough to survive it.
