He opened a diary. What followed... was a life he could never forget. In 1950s Britain, a man haunted by war and silence opens the pages of a diary that takes him back to his childhood - a time of red bridges, quiet battles, and unspoken love. Raised by his aunt and her British husband, young Kalyan finds himself chosen for a scholarship that could change his life. But between palace walls, painful truths, and the weight of expectations, he discovers that the hardest tests aren't always on paper. The Shape of Love: A Time-Tested Journey is a deeply emotional coming-of-age story about identity, sacrifice, and the invisible wounds we carry, for readers who love quiet, powerful storytelling with heart.
