Remaining
A Novel
Some things are not lost because they wander.
They are lost because we stop noticing they are still with us.
Life continues — faithfully, noisily — while quieter truths wait beneath the surface. In the midst of ordinary days, something begins to press gently for attention. Not urgently. Not loudly. Simply there.
Remaining is a contemplative novel about what endures beneath change — presence, belonging, and what has always been true — and about the parts of ourselves that never left, even when we thought they had. As the familiar rhythms of life slow just enough to be felt, what once seemed distant begins to surface again, not as nostalgia, but as recognition.
Not a search for home —
but the discovery that home has been present all along.What if home was never something you had to find —
only something you had to recognise?
A novel of memory, belonging, and quiet return.
