It is 1985, and an Indian grocer has just been attacked by nativists aligned with the recent military coup. Now, fear and shock are rippling through the island's deeply-rooted Indian community as racial tensions rise to the brink. Bhumi hears this news from her locked-down dorm room in the capital city. She is the ambitious, intellectual standout of the family--the one destined for success. But when her friendship with the daughter of a prominent government official becomes a liability, she must flee her unstable home for California. Jaipal feels like the unnoticed, unremarkable sibling, always left to fend for himself. He is stuck working in the family store, avoiding their father's wrath, with nothing but his hidden desires to distract him. Desperate for money and connection, he seizes a sudden opportunity to take his life into his own hands for the first time. But his decision may leave him vulnerable to the island's escalating volatility. 650 0 $a East Indians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Brothers and sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gay men $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Oceania $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 14 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024653.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907010556.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230613010226.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20230204010642.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230131011412.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20221202012140.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220903010219.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220827010100.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220802014659.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20220802012207.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220802011215.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220712010353.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220706023056.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220610010052.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9FB3BCFAE88211ECA877144335ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
