Bestselling author Shilpi Somaya Gowda returns to the Appel Salon to discuss her poignant new novel about the ties and fractures of a close-knit Indian-American family in the aftermath of a violent encounter with the police.

Shilpi Somaya Gowda will be joined in conversation by arts and life reporter Aparita Bhandari to discuss the novel's exploration of immigration, generational conflict, social class and privilege, the myth of the model minority and the price of the American dream.
