All in Fiction

KARMA AND THE ART OF BUTTER CHICKEN by Monica Bhide
“I am going to open a kitchen for poor people. You know, a place where you will never be refused a meal. A place where no one will ever go hungry.”
The Windfall by Diksha Basu
"He wanted the new car, the home with a driveway, crystal chandeliers, sparkling water, better shower heads, and softer shoes. He wanted to be a member of a private club. He wanted to get a bidet installed in the master bathroom."
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi

It is an epic story, not because of the geographical reach, but because every family story is epic in its own way.

That is what makes the book both epic and universal.
