Discuss "Well Behaved Indian Women" VIRTUALLY!

Hi friends! Alas, I'm going to be out of NYC for the months of July and August which is both bad and good news: bad because we will have to meet virtually rather than the park, but good because I know there's so many people who haven't been able to attend in person since Covid, so it will be good to reconnect via the next two months!

July's book will be "Well Behaved Indian Women". Here's the link and description: https://amzn.to/3MytBMj

Simran Mehta has always felt harshly judged by her mother, Nandini, especially when it comes to her little "writing hobby." But when a charismatic and highly respected journalist careens into Simran's life, she begins to question not only her future as a psychologist, but her engagement to her high school sweetheart.

Nandini Mehta has strived to create an easy life for her children in America. From dealing with her husband's demanding family to the casual racism of her patients, everything Nandini has endured has been for her children's sake. It isn’t until an old colleague makes her a life-changing offer that Nandini realizes she's spent so much time focusing on being the Perfect Indian Woman, she’s let herself slip away.

Mimi Kadakia failed her daughter, Nandini, in ways she'll never be able to fix­—or forget. But with her granddaughter, she has the chance to be supportive and offer help when it's needed. As life begins to pull Nandini and Simran apart, Mimi is determined to be the bridge that keeps them connected, even as she carries her own secret burden.

Please note the later start time for this: we will begin at 8pm and plan on chatting for about an hour. We'll post the Zoom link the day of the event. So looking forward to seeing new and old faces there, xoxo!

p.s. I've had members ask for a full list of books that we've read and discussed monthly since 2014, and here's the list with them all in one place! Enjoy! https://www.meetup.com/NovelsOfNewYork/pages/32549629/All_The_NYC_Books_We%27ve_Read/
