Description
"If you loved The Covenant of Water you will devour this sweeping debut. . . A moving portrait of a family and a nation divided." --Oprah Daily, "Most Anticipated Books of 2025""House of Caravans is a marvel of a novel."--Ha Jin, author of Waiting: A NovelA sweeping and richly evocative debut novel of a family bound by memory and legacy, love and loss, and a homeland forever changed.

Lahore, British India. 1943. As resentment of colonial rule grows, so do acts of rebellion. Seduced by idealistic visions, at seventeen Chhote Nanu is imprisoned for planting a bomb on behalf of the resistance, leaving his brother Barre to fight for his freedom. But Chhote is consumed not by thoughts of family and liberation, but by the beautiful half-English woman he met before his arrest. Who was she really, and who was the child with her?

Kanpur, India. 2002. Karan Khati is studying in the States when his younger sister, Ila, informs him that their grandfather Barre Nanu has died, and asks that he return home. When he arrives, he finds their estranged mother at odds with their embittered granduncle, Chhote. As hard truths and harmful legacies of familial and religious prejudice resurface, an already-fractured family must learn to heal after being driven apart by years of contentious secrets and unresolved heartache.

Spanning generations, Shilpi Suneja's House of Caravans is a masterfully told and moving portrayal of a family and a nation divided by the lasting consequences of colonialism.
