Meera has built a life that works.
At fifty, she lives alone, holds a stable job, and moves through her days with a disciplined routine. And yet, something in her has long grown tired of living.
When a medical diagnosis disrupts the fragile balance she has maintained for years, Meera begins to consider a possibility she has carried quietly for a long time: that life, once stripped of desire, may not demand continuation.
But neither does it allow an easy ending.
Set over three weeks, Parts of Living follows Meera as she moves through ordinary days and tentative connections, confronting not crisis but resistance - to effort, to hope, to the work of continuing. As she revisits old relationships and encounters others at different points of struggle, she is forced to question whether living is something that can be chosen deliberately, even without certainty or meaning.
Quiet, introspective, and unsentimental, Parts of Living is a novel about the perpetual weight of days, the stubbornness of the self, and what it takes to choose to stay.
