Preeti Shenoy Revisits Alka's Heart with her latest, "The Homecoming"

As Alka's journey continues, Shenoy explores the intricacies of love, loyalty, and sacrifice, unraveling the emotional and moral dilemmas that define her character. With her signature storytelling style, Shenoy delves into the themes of buried secrets, the weight of responsibility, and the search for identity, all set against the evocative backdrop of a coffee estate. In this conversation, she shares her creative process, her approach to developing Alka's character, and the inspiration behind the narrative that resonates so deeply with her readers.

"The Homecoming" delves deeper into Alka's life after 'A Place Called Home', continuing Alka's journey. What inspired you to revisit her story, and how did you approach developing her character further in this sequel?

Some love stories don't end-they linger, evolve, and grow deeper. Alka and Krish's story is one such tale. Alka's decision to walk away from Krish and marry his brother, Subbu, was poignant, yet provocative. It was a choice that tied her even closer to Krish, making her life an intricate web of love, duty, and suppressed emotions.

To understand Alka's choices, we need to delve into her past-the insecurities of being a maid's daughter with no financial stability, her deep yearning for 'a place to called home', and the price she had to pay to achieve it set the tone for a very complex story. Her struggles shaped her into a fascinating character- ruthless in her ambitions yet deeply empathetic, loving and efficient as a mother, loyal as a wife, and yet deeply human in her own unspoken needs and desires.
