Book Summary

Home centers around the Banwari Lal family, sari merchants in Delhi’s bustling Karol Bagh, coping with a changing world as fashionable jeans and stitched salwar-kameez threaten their traditional cloth business . The story unfolds from the perspective of Nisha, the only granddaughter, as three generations wrestle with personal dreams and familial expectations. Interwoven themes include gender roles, female autonomy, marital tensions, childbearing pressures, and the struggle between tradition and modernity . Kapur’s nuanced storytelling highlights both the suffocating constraints and the tender bonds of family life in urban India, as she captures emotional complexity and social hypocrisy with gentle humor .

About the Author 

Manju Kapur (b. 1948, Amritsar) is a celebrated Indian novelist and former English literature professor at Delhi University’s Miranda House. Her debut Difficult Daughters (1998) won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and subsequent novels (A Married Woman, Home, The Immigrant, Custody, Brothers) garnered critical acclaim, with several adapted for television . Kapur’s writing, often described as a “mirror of society,” explores the inner lives of women, family dynamics, social change, and the tension between individual desire and cultural norms . Known for her empathetic portrayal of female experiences, she combines clear prose with psychological depth
