A Rebirth is not so much about parenting as it is about the unique bond between mother and child. The particular period when the mother carries the unborn child is expressed beautifully in her literary work.[6]

Undertow is a novel about migration, exile and loneliness, all themes we will be struggling with in a post-pandemic world.[7]
