✦ Synopsis

Nahid has six months left to live. Or so the doctors say. At fifty, she is no stranger to loss. But now, as she stands on the precipice of her own death—just as she has learned that her daughter Aram is pregnant with her first child—Nahid is filled with both new fury and long dormant rage. Her life back home in Iran, and living as a refugee in Sweden, has been about survival at any cost. How to actually live, she doesn't know; she has never had the ability or opportunity to learn.
In the form of a furious exhale, an almost primal scream, this extraordinary novel asks us to consider: what do we pass on to our children? What do we owe those we love? And without roots, can you ever truly be free?
Soon to be published in twenty-five countries, What We Owe introduces a fierce, and necessary, new voice in international fiction, exploring how trauma and loss metabolize over time, and how they infect the generations that follow.
