The dwelling-place of light Volume 1 examines the erosion of certainty in a world reshaped by industrial progress and shifting social values. It enhances the emotional tension between memory and modernity, as individuals attempt to navigate lives disconnected from past expectations. Rooted in generational reflection, the novel explores how traditional structures weaken in the face of progress, leading to fractured identities and uncertain belonging. The narrative captures how individuals struggle with the dissonance between their inherited ideals and contemporary realities. Personal ambition, resignation, and escape coexist within a family shaped by external forces beyond their control. The novel gives weight to internal conflict, emphasizing the silent battles fought in private reflection, daily choices, and emotional restraint. Change is depicted not through grand events but through subtle shifts in worldview, discontent masked by routine, and a gradual realization that the world no longer resembles the one they trusted. In this quiet unraveling, the story highlights the cost of endurance when identity must adapt or fracture amid the push and pull of personal desire and societal transformation.
