Not Even Then  (English, Paperback, Niswita Singh)

Some letters are never meant to be read. Only felt. In a small town shadowed by silence, a 23-year-old woman begins writing letters to a little girl across the street — a girl who reminds her too much of herself. What starts as quiet observation turns into a haunting confession, where memory bleeds into grief, and truth is too heavy to carry alone. Unfolding through raw, lyrical prose, Not Even Then is an epistolary novel about trauma, girlhood, and the unbearable ache of being unheard. Each letter reaches deeper, tracing a path through betrayal, societal disbelief, and the red anklet that still clings to her even in death. But she never says she is gone. And no one ever really listened. Not even then.
