Home as Found / Sequel to "Homeward Bound"
About This Book
The narrative resumes a family's return to their native community, following their efforts to settle into urban and country households, manage domestic arrangements, and navigate relations with kin and acquaintances. Through social visits, household scenes, and conversational episodes, the work examines provincial manners, the corrosive pursuit of wealth, and the gap between professed ideals and everyday conduct. Satirical portraits and intimate details probe social pretension and parochialism while tracing characters' attempts to reconcile experiences gained abroad with the practical expectations and comforts of home.
