If Summer Island cracked you open with Ruby and Nora's brittle standoff, The Storyteller's Secret doubles down on intergenerational wounds that fester across continents and decades. Badani trades Hannah's Pacific Northwest refuge for India's sensory richness—saffron-scented courtyards and monsoon rains that mirror the storm inside women who've inherited silence instead of truth. You'll recognize the same raw ache of daughters confronting mothers' choices, the same slow thaw toward forgiveness that feels earned, not handed over.
This isn't melodrama—it's the quiet unraveling book clubs devour, where secrets surface like bruises and healing demands reckoning. Perfect for readers who want emotional catharsis wrapped in lush, transportive prose.
If you're ready to ache beautifully again, this delivers.
