Home. Is it where you live, or who you are?

When Anu moves from India to a quiet English village, she hopes for belonging, friendship and a fresh start. Instead she finds polite distance, whispered judgments and the uneasy realisation that she is always being measured and found wanting.

As the pressure builds, cracks appear everywhere: in her marriage, in her sense of self, in the story she has always told herself about who she should be. The harder Anu tries to fit in, the more invisible she feels.

One moment forces her to stop hiding and choose who she wants to be, even if it means letting go of everything she knows.

Moving, intimate and deeply human, A Quiet Dissonance is a powerful story of identity, belonging and the quiet rebellion it takes to reclaim your own voice.

"Important and beautifully written. Anu's journey made me rethink my own priorities." -- NetGalley review
"Evocative, tender and resonant. Reminded me of Brick Lane and I loved every page." -- NetGalley review
