Seventeen Things I Never Told My Mother

by Priya Venkataraman

The summer before college, Anjali finds her late grandmother's unfinished letter and a list titled simply 'Things I Never Told My Mother.' As she tries to complete the list on her grandmother's behalf, she begins her own — and discovers that the silences in a family are inherited just as surely as the recipes. A tender, multigenerational drama about the things women in one family could never say out loud.
