Description
Set within a traditional Delhi family and its longstanding sari business, this richly drawn novel explores the tensions between duty, ambition, and personal freedom. As the family’s daughters and sons struggle to find their places within a demanding household, questions of gender, marriage, education, and inheritance gradually challenge deeply rooted expectations. Intimate and perceptive, the story examines how love and loyalty can both sustain and constrain those searching for a home of their own. With quiet emotional force, it offers a nuanced portrait of family life and changing social values in contemporary India.
