About the Book

Every bond has its own flavour. This one tastes like truth.

‘Salt’ is a stirring exploration of love, longing, and the quiet battles fought behind closed doors. Set against the backdrop of everyday life, it delves into the fragile spaces between what’s said and what’s left unsaid in relationships.

Through stolen glances, missed calls, and silent dinners, the story traces the slow erosion of connection—and the aching desire to rebuild it. At once tender and turbulent, Salt captures the essence of inner turmoil, emotional intimacy, betrayal, friendship, and the hunger to be seen.

This is a mirror to modern relationships, reminding us how the smallest gestures—or their absence—can define the course of a life.

📚 For readers who love: emotionally intense stories, lyrical writing, and raw honesty in human connection.
