Publisher's Summary

Narrated by Deepti Gupta, 2022 Audie Award winner for Best Female Narrator, The Chai House is a haunting debut novel that explores the complexity of community when individuals are unaware of their own roles in upholding systems of oppression. 

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 listen, The Chai House examines the desire to be true to yourself in a world where familial, cultural, societal, and political values direct you to stay small and stay silent.

Gripping story, excellent narration

I couldnt stop listening! It is so refreshing to hear an author of Indian origin be read in an Indian accent. The story is spooky, and it draws you in. Get in there.

Captivating from the beginning!
