Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swati has spent her entire life trying to live up to her family's expectations of her. She has learned it is easiest to just do what is asked of her, without resistance; a skill that has helped her survive in the early years of the Knights, an authoritarian regime. When her mother has a request for Swati, she agrees to it as it is the only way to help her young niece have some sort of future. An emotional page turner, The Chai House explores the complexity of the desire to be true to yourself in a world where familial, societal, and political values guide you towards staying small and staying silent.
