Description
Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens is a powerful and moving novel that explores the complexities of family, memory, community, and race. Set in a quiet Sydney suburb, the story follows the lives of the residents at Cinnamon Gardens Nursing Home, where the ordinary and the extraordinary coexist.
As tensions rise and prejudices threaten the tranquility of the home, the characters are forced to confront the darker aspects of their country's history. Through the lens of storytelling, Shankari Chandran sheds light on the ways in which our experiences shape us, and the power of shared tales to bring us together.
This is a wise and dignified novel, both urgent and necessary, that will resonate with readers long after the final page is turned.
