At six, she saved the family from bandits. Now--how far will Shiva go to protect her own son and daughter from the harm they inflict on themselves?
Bombay Trilogy follows the fictional Sambashivan family from the author's previous novels (Shiva's Arms, Rescuing Ranu, and Kalpavriksha) through a sprawling, epic retelling of their history. The characters, from the aforementioned bandit-killing matriarch to siblings who rise above the demands of blood; a daughter who adopts an orphan of questionable origin, a cousin who marries an 'unsuitable' bride, an auntie who inherits her sister's life, and newlyweds with separate agendas for their future-- they all cycle through decades of cultural, personal, and societal change, each generation finding itself stranded at the intersection of freedom and duty. For each of them, in different ways, that's the point at which the story opens into an exploration of cultural identity, freedom, and the meaning of home.
