A literary novel about psychotherapy, grief, migration memory, family silence and the fragile spaces where people try to be heard.
Dr Samira Rahman is a psychotherapist in York whose life is built around careful listening. But when she learns that a former client has died unexpectedly, the quiet order of her professional world begins to shift.
As institutional language gathers around the death, Samira is forced to confront what records can hold, what rooms can contain, and what remains unspoken between the living and the dead. Her work with clients carrying grief, panic, memory, migration and family silence becomes inseparable from her own reckoning with responsibility, care and the limits of professional language.
Set in York, The Rooms We Leave Open is a deeply humane contemporary literary novel about grief, psychotherapy, family, migration, institutional processes and the moral difficulty of listening.
A quiet, compassionate and emotionally precise novel about loss, memory and the rooms where unsaid things wait.
