When young Sajad’s Abu is snatched away one night, Bram Bram Chok comes to settle in the little boy’s heart, creating anger and sadness. Can Sajad gather enough love and joy from his grandfather’s 102-year-old rose water shop to drive Bram Bram Chok away?

This is a book about the routine disappearances of many men from Kashmir, and how their families learn to live with their absence.
