The Mother I Never Knew: Two Novellas By Sudha Murty

A POIGNANT EXPLORATION OF HIDDEN TRUTHS AND THE COMPLEXITIES OF FAMILY.

In this deeply moving volume, Sudha Murty presents two powerful novellas that delve into the secrets buried in a family's past. The stories follow two men, Venkatesh and Mukesh, each embarking on a life-altering quest to find the mothers they never knew.

When Venkatesh, a bank manager, discovers his father’s secret past—which includes an abandoned family—he feels the weight of a debt he never created and must decide how to make amends. Meanwhile, after his father’s passing, Mukesh learns he was adopted, sparking a painful journey to find his biological mother. As he delves deeper, he is forced to confront the ultimate question: where does true loyalty lie—with the mother who gave birth to you, or the one who raised you? The Mother I Never Knew is a dramatic, heartfelt look at the secrets that define us and the bonds that tie us to one another.
