About this audiobook
A Family. A Lockdown. A Journey.
For young Meher, living in Dharavi meant a life full of possibilities. Things were going well until the Indian government announced the world's biggest coronavirus lockdown. Soon, her parents are left jobless and stand to lose all - their home and their lives.
As Covid-19 cases in the Mumbai slum soar, Meher and her family realize they have no choice but to leave for their village in Rajasthan. With the ban on public movement, it becomes clear that they would have to walk the 900 kilometres, facing barbaric police officers, searing heat, wild beasts and indifferent deities.
A deeply moving story about family, survival and relentless hope, Homebound brings to the page the stark realities of those who have remained too long without a voice.
PRAISE FOR HOMEBOUND
'A powerful, accessible, heart-wrenching novel.' Nilanjana Roy
'A compelling reminder of what millions went through during those desperate months, when we were all being tested by fate.' Pritish Nandy
'A poignant letter to our dystopian present. An elegy for the faceless and the nameless. [Homebound] is a striking document of our times, a tour de force.' Hansal Mehta
