A review by kdhanda
All the Lives We Never Lived by Anuradha Roy

3.0

Beautifully written novel about a woman trapped in her marriage in 1930s India. She leaves her marriage and her son to join two fellow artists in Bali. Myshkin, her son, feels abandoned and struggles with this abandonment his whole life. We only find out about his mothers viewpoint when he gets a bundle of her letters sent to a neighbor friend. The writing was evocative but the framing of the plot felt stilted and I could not get into the characters.
