In the unnamed town at the heart of Shinie Antony's Can't, eccentricity and wisdom intermingle through the life of Nena, a character so unique that she defies conventional expectations. Antony crafts a story filled with humour, mystery, and raw emotion, guiding readers through a narrative that feels both fantastical and profoundly real. Nena, an elderly woman in her seventies, suffers from a rare condition called aquagenic urticaria, which renders her unable to touch or ingest water.
