From Delhi, Bombay/Mumbai, Ooty and Kashmir, to Palestine, Algeria and eleventh-century Cordoba, these intricately carved essays explore cities and other places through the lives of people, and how they see home and belonging. Combining memoir and polemic, historical and imagined narrative, anecdote and poetry, Githa Hariharan recounts defining moments - in which people experience the frictions of day-to-day survival, or the collisions of ideas, culture, war or colonization. The result is a fascinating and layered story of home: a sense of home, too many homes, broken or lost homes.
