Rituparna Khan’s debut novella, ‘Homecoming’ portrays the author’s lucid narrative style where life tells us multidimensional stories that help us to be born, to thrive, to live, to die, to re-live and to move on. It encompasses stories of diaspora, human, non-human and inhuman aspects of our subcontinent and beyond that. This work is an honest effort to capture the pulse and soul of the people of Indian subcontinent as well as to portray the inbuilt harmony beyond all superficial differences.
