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; from a daughter who adopts an orphan of questionable origin, to a cousin who marries an 'unsuitable' bride; from an auntie who inherits her sister's life, to newlyweds with separate agendas for their future-- all cycle through decades of cultural, personal, and societal upheaval, each generation in turn stranded at the intersection of freedom and duty, trying to make their way home.
