The Evening is the Whole Day by Preema Samarasan is a beautifully written book set in Malaysia in 1980. It centers around the Rajasekharan family and their many secrets.
Asha, the youngest of three children, is the central, and most relatable, character. She sees ghosts, feels very misunderstood by her family and scorned by her older sister’s cold shoulder.
In the end, the book sets up some huge secret which led to misunderstandings and life changing impacts, however when it is revealed, it doesn’t seem as dramatic as I expected. Still, it’s a gorgeous book and worth a read.
