The Empty Space – Geetanjali Shree

Description

A bomb explodes in a university café, claiming the lives of nineteen students. The Empty Space begins with the identification of those nineteen dead. The mother who enters the café last to identify the nineteenth body brings home her dead eighteen-year-old son packed in a box, as well as the sole survivor of the blast, a three-year-old boy who, by a strange quirk of fate, is found lying in a small empty space, alive and breathing.

The Empty Space chronicles the memories of the boy gone, the story of the boy brought home, and the cataclysmic crossing of life and death.
