I Never Said I Loved You
I Never Said I Loved You | Rhik Samadder
4 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
"I'm in bed with my mother, in a Bangkok sex hotel. It is my 30th birthday, it is time for me to become a man, and I have grave worries about the kind of man I'm going to become." On an unlikely backpacking trip, Rhik and his mother find themselves speaking openly for the first time in years. Afterwards, the depression that has weighed down on Rhik begins to loosen its grip for a moment - so he seizes the opportunity: to own it, to understand it, and to find out where it came from. Through this begins a journey of investigation, healing and recovery. Along the way Rhik learns some shocking truths about his family, and realizes that, in turn, he will need to confront the secrets he has long buried. But through this, he triumphs over his fears and brings his depression into the light. I Never Said I Loved You is the story of how Rhik learned to let go, and then keep going. With unique humour and honesty, he has created a powerfully rich, funny and poignant exploration of the light and dark in all of us.

You know when you go down rabbit holes, researching writers and books? And you search for them on social media? And then you find a photo on their Insta page of the event you attended that inspired you to read the book? AND YOU‘RE IN THE PHOTO 😆🤩😍

Glad I wasn‘t the one mooning. Phew 😅

I saw Rhik speak at the 2019 Ubud Writer‘s festival and subsequently added this memoir to my #tbr list. I have finally gotten around to reading it. Those in the UK may know who Rhik is, but I hadn‘t heard of him.

There is trauma, there is humour and there are life lessons. @Jeg I wondered whether you might appreciate this one & I‘d be happy to loan it to you 🤔.

Jeg Yes. Xx 1y
