In a world where names can be erased, altered, or forgotten, memory becomes both a refuge and a battlefield. The Book of Lost Names: A Story of Memory, Identity, and Survival by Pravesh Gupta follows a searching protagonist determined to piece together a life that keeps slipping away—one recollection, one document, and one secret at a time.
