Set in an aged-care home in suburban Sydney, this generational novel follows a Sri Lankan Australian family through memory, discrimination, and mutual support within a community. It moves between humor and urgency while asking what home and inheritance really mean.

A place for the people who have been lost, and for the stories they have carried.
