A Bit Of Everything is a deeply moving literary novel about a Kashmiri family forced to abandon the only home they’ve known as violence erupts. Spanning Kashmir, Delhi, and later London, the narrative traces Rahul, Doora, and their young son as they navigate six blistering summers in a Delhi barsati, where memories of home keep surfacing against an unfamiliar backdrop. Written for adult readers who relish intimate, character-driven stories of migration, identity, and belonging, this poignant tale offers a compassionate, hopeful look at what it means to find a place to call home again.

In a warm, reader-friendly voice, the book unfolds through the lives of its central family, showing how they cope with displacement, prejudice, and the pull of memory. The pacing blends lyrical reflection with grounded realism, letting you feel the heat of the summer and the chill of distant memories at once. As the family’s journey moves from India to England, the narrative reveals how identity can be tested by external labels and internal loyalties, and how resilience can quietly shape a future.
