About the Story

There is no suffering in this world more agonizing than separation. Aithan is the story of that separation — told through the lives of those who have been buried alive by grief, whose lungs fill not with air but with the weight of earth and loss. It is the story of a child violated in the shadow of her own mother’s shawl. It is the story of a young son burned alive before his parents’ eyes — and of a mother’s clenched teeth in unconscious agony, and a father’s wild, helpless scream.

Aithan is that scream. It is that agony. It is that blood. And it is that unbearable, inescapable human truth.
