China Room
Mehar, a young bride in rural 1929 Punjab, is trying to discover the identity of her new husband. She and her sisters in law, married to three brothers in a single ceremony, spend their days hard at work in the family's "china room", sequestered from contact with the men. When Mehar develops a theory as to which of them is hers, a passion is ignited that will put more than one life at risk.
Spiralling around Mehar's story is that of a young man who in 1999 travels from England to the now-deserted farm, it's "china room" locked and barred. In enforced flight from the traumas of his adolescence - his experiences of addiction, racism, and estrangement from the culture of his birth - he spends a summer in painful contemplation and recovery, before finally finding the strength to return "home".
