Late Bloomers (2023)
Deepa Varadarajan
"A stirring, tender novel about the bonds and binds between families and strangers. By reversing roles in the immigrant tug of war--here the parents are online dating and the children looking to 'settle down'--Varadarajan poignantly delivers a page-turner in which both the young and the not so young have to reconfigure expectations and forge new pathways in order to find fulfillment. Late Bloomers asks what it means to be a family--a happy family--in a rapidly changing world, and offers promising answers. You'll laugh and cry through this deft tale about personal growth, family entanglements and reignited dreams."
Debating Darcy (2022)
Sayantani DasGupta
"Debating Darcy delivers a brilliantly diverse cast of characters who make up the Bennet sibling world and DasGupta superbly explores what class and social mobility mean in America today as well as sexuality and the #MeToo movement."
At Least You Have Your Health (2022)
Madi Sinha
"At Least You Have Your Health is an absolute gem of a read. Sinha exposes necessary truths through fully realized characters about a world increasingly polarized in its definition of a successful life...A necessary and captivating novel."
