In Manju Kapur's novel 'Home', the Banwari Lal family, owners of a traditional sari business in Delhi, faces changes in fashion, with the growing popularity of jeans and stitched salwar kameez. The sons remain in the struggling family business, while the daughters are confined to the home. Envy and suspicion grow between parents and children, intensifying the desire to escape, whether through forbidden love, pickle making, or the pursuit of education. This moving and engaging story explores the acts of kindness, compromises, and secrets that define every family.
Manju Kapur is an Indian novelist. Her first novel, Difficult Daughters, won the 1999 Commonwealth Writers' Prize, best first book, Europe and South Asia.
