Daruwalla examines how the family functions as both a sanctuary and a place of exile. A man renounces his household to become a monk, only to find himself haunted by vivid dreams of his mother. In another home, parents grapple with the decade-long disappearance of their son—the father refusing false hope while the mother clings fiercely to it. Elsewhere, an elderly Parsi couple lives alongside the haunting presence of their absent daughter, and a young woman visits her estranged grandmother for what may be the final time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten with the emotional precision of a poet and the observational sharpness of a master storyteller, \u003ci\u003eGoing\u003c\/i\u003e offers an unforgettable study of grief, memory, love, and human connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMasterclass in Indian Short Fiction:\u003c\/b\u003e A poignant final collection of stories by Sahitya Akademi Award-winning poet and fiction writer Keki N.
