In a very boxy apartment building in an Illinois school town, Romola Mitra, a newly arrived young bride, anxiously awaits her first letter from home in India. When she unintentionally opens the incorrect letter, it changes her life. Ages later, her kid Amit detects that letter and feels he has uncovered his mother's top secret. But secrets have their own secrets sometimes. Amit will not know that Avinash, his reliable and devoted dad, has been timidly browsing gay chat rooms, driven by the lifelong desires he never allowed himself to indulge. Avinash, for his part, doesn't understand what his dutiful partner gave up in marrying him - the memory of love she keeps tucked away. Growing up in Calcutta, in a house bustling with feisty grandmothers, Amit has been shielded from his parents' secrets. Now he's a successful computer engineer, resolved in San Franscisco yet torn between his new lease of life and his tasks to the one he left behind. Moving from adolescent rooftop games to adult encounters in homosexual bars, from scalp salons in Calcutta to McDonald's drive-thrus in California, Don't Let Him Know can be an unforgettable tale about family and the sacrifices we make for those we love. Tender, funny, and amazingly told, it represents the arrival of an resonant new tone.
