The Things We Carry
Some burdens are inherited, others are simply never put downBy Chethan Kumar SRecorded TrackLength1h 36m
About this audiobook
Here is what this story is about. When Nila comes home to help her mother clear out the family house before it is sold, she expects a few days of sorting, packing and paperwork. Instead, every cupboard hands back a question about what we keep, what we owe, and what we are finally ready to put down.
