Now with Reading Group Guide
At the birth of their first child Reena and Nikesh discover their baby has had a severe brain haemorrhage, and family and friends rally around to help. But the family matriarch, Sarladevi, reminds Reena of the predictions of the Guru and Reena struggles to deal with her past. While Nik seeks comfort from Sarladevi with religious rituals and customs, Reena finds alternative medicine and support groups. Truths are revealed, and a wedge develops in their relationship.
Will the chasm created by their differences in dealing with the stresses and strains of looking after a sick child pull them apart?
Or will their love for each other and the eternal love of their child overcome the prejudices and customs observed by Nik's family?
Where Have We Come, from the Reena and Nikesh University Series, is a retelling of our experience at the birth of our son. It provides an honest insight on how a couple growing up in multicultural Britain deal with depression, bereavement, child loss and misfortune while straddling their British and Indian heritage.
