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.

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 alreadyfractured family must learn to heal after being driven apart by years of contentious secrets and unresolved heartache.Spanning generations, Shilpi Sunejas House of Caravans is a masterfully told and moving portrayal of a family and a nation divided by the lasting consequences of colonialism.
