Dear Stranger

Dear Stranger | An Unforgettable Story of Love and Memory: Sheethal Mary George, a medical PG resident living in Bangalore, was a girl afraid to fall in love, unsure how to even love herself. But then, a stranger—the charming, brown-eyed Goutham Neuraam—stepped into her life and made her believe in love. He held her to life. Sheethal, who cherished her solitude, and Goutham, who sought solace, met in the quiet gardens of Cubbon Park and found profound comfort in each other. They fell in love, and this stranger quickly became her favorite person.

Together, they embraced the life they had built. Yet, as time inevitably passed, the fragile glass that held their relationship shattered, and they couldn’t keep the promises they had made. They fell apart, left with broken hearts, transforming from soulmates back into strangers—intentionally distant strangers. Dear Stranger is an unflinching and emotionally resonant look at the journey from profound connection to absolute severance. It is the story of how the person who once defined your world can retreat, becoming merely a powerful, cherished, and favorite memory. This novel beautifully captures the universal pain of lost love and the difficult choice to remain separate.
