Banwari Lal, the family patriarch, is a survivor of India's partition who reinvented the family business destroyed in Lahore. He is a firm believer in the continuity of time-honoured customs. With each generation, however, the tradition he embodies is questioned. His sons Yashpal and Pyarelal are the uncertain bearers of the family's future, the reluctant witnesses to their children's struggle with aspirations that are unique from their own. Nisha, Yashpal's daughter, becomes the first woman in the family to acquire higher education. She comes to represent the uneasy coexistence of tradition and modernity that defines this extraordinary novel.
