About this listen

Sometimes the biggest story of your life happens before you’re even born… and sometimes, you get to discover it. One email is all it takes to turn Mala’s life upside down… an email from a stranger 10,000 miles away. Now, as memories from her childhood swirl up in familiarity, she sees them in a different light, as though they’re puzzle pieces that have a new way to fit together. Everything is the same, yet everything is different… The story she thought she knew is true, but there’s been another truth running beneath it the whole time. At 53 years old, Mala didn’t think she had anything new to learn about her past, but now she sees just how much information she’s been missing. She has a decision to make: Will she meet Sakura, the face behind the email, or will she go on pretending that there are no missing pieces in the story of her life? As she wrestles with her decision, we’re taken back in time to 1972 and the story of Aunty Helen, Uncle Peter, and the secret child they must decide what to do with… a story that has had more of an effect on Mala’s life than she’s ever known. When we make sense of the past, we begin to make sense of ourselves, and Mala’s in for a huge voyage of discovery… and maybe, a whole new chapter of her life.

I didn’t expect this to be so moving, but it surprised me—in the best way. The writing is tender and deliberate, gradually revealing family secrets that reframe everything you thought you knew. Mala’s journey feels personal and raw, and I appreciated how the story respected silence and tension between characters. It’s not flashy, but it’s powerful. A beautiful, reflective listen for anyone who’s ever wondered how much of their past they really understand.

This story hit me harder than I expected. I was completely pulled into Mala’s journey—how one unexpected message unravels everything she thought she knew about her past. The way the author weaves between timelines is so well done, and the emotional depth in both the present and past stories had me hooked. It's not just about family secrets; it’s about identity, forgiveness, and what we do with the truth when it finally finds us. Absolutely worth the listen.

Beautifully Written and Emotionally Powerful

I really enjoyed Labyrinth of Dreams. The characters pulled me in right away, especially with how their goals and feelings clashed and connected. The secret child twist added real tension and kept me listening to find out how it would all play out. The pacing was great, and the emotional moments felt honest without being too dramatic. If you like romance with a bit of suspense and strong character development, this is a great pick.

This was more than just a story about family—it’s about what happens when the truth shows up later in life. I liked how the narrative unfolded slowly, revealing layers that made earlier moments feel even more meaningful. The back-and-forth timeline worked well and gave both sides of the story real weight. It’s reflective, emotional, and leaves you thinking long after it ends.

What I liked about the premise is how it highlights that sometimes, the biggest truths about our lives are hidden from us, even if they've been unfolding beneath the surface all along. Mala's situation, where she thought she knew everything about her past but then realizes there are huge missing pieces, feels very relatable.
