«Home» is the contemporary fiction novel by Manju Kapur, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (352 pages, in English).
The Banwari Lal family runs a sari shop that is losing customers to the fashion for jeans and stitched salwar kameez. While the brothers remain tied to the family business, the daughters barely leave the house; amid envy and suspicion, each seeks their own escape: a forbidden love, homemade pickles or education.
Home is Manju Kapur's third novel; the work was originally published in 2006 and this English edition came out in 2010.
For readers of contemporary fiction and family dramas with an interest in India, its traditions and the clash with modernity.
Manju Kapur is an Indian novelist. Her first novel, Difficult Daughters, won the 1999 Commonwealth Writers' Prize, best first book, Europe and South Asia.
