Walking Each Other Home - A Novel

Author : Aditi Pant

Lyrical and deeply moving, Walking each other home is a biographical fiction, where lived truths have been textured with imagined moments tracing the journey of a child orphaned of motherly warmth at just two months old. Set in the late 1940s, this story is not one of dramatic triumphs, but of quiet endurance, where words sing with the ache of the heart. Mohan grew up in scarcity, in abandonment, often carrying more burdens than a child should. And yet, over time, he carved out a life of meaning, resilience, and grace. His journey speaks not only to our personal history, but to the many silent, strong lives that shape our world from the margins. Walking each other home is a testament to the endurance of the human spirit, an ode to a bygone era, a prayer for the children who grow into adults in shadow, a song for the momentous mountains of the Kumaon and a tender soulful applaud for the quiet, stubborn beauty of hope.
