Description

Gold Diggers A Novel by Sanjena Sathian is a magical realist coming-of-age story that skewers the model minority myth. Set in the Atlanta suburbs, it follows Neil Narayan as he struggles to bear the weight of expectations from his family and community. When he discovers an ancient alchemical potion made from stolen gold, Neil sees his chance to get ahead, but events spiral into a tragedy that rips their community apart. Years later, Neil still grapples with the consequences of his actions and finds himself in need of another hit of the "lemonade" - no matter the cost. This fine-grained investigation into what's required to make it in America is both bitingly funny and profoundly intelligent. Sanjena Sathian's debut novel offers a nuanced exploration of immigrant identity, community, and ambition, with a tone that is both humorous and moving.
