All of them filling in the blanks she isn’t there to explain.For readers of The Guest List and Everything I Never Told You, 500 Steps Down is a story about a Punjabi Sikh family, the week that was supposed to be the happiest of their lives, and the versions of a person we only see when she’s gone.500 Steps Down is Tej Arora’s debut novel, a slow-burn domestic suspense set across Surrey and Vancouver, where he grew up.
