SUMMARY:A Great Country Indian Lunch Adventure featuring NYT and international bestselling author Shilpi Somaya Gowda
DESCRIPTION:About the In-Person Event\n“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” – Mahatma Gandhi \nAre you ready for a propulsive\, moving\, and bold Adventure with San Diego-based author Shilpi Somaya Gowda? Then join us to discuss her latest novel\, A Great Country\, and discover how a shift in perspective can change everything! \nIn her latest book imbued with compassion\, Shilpi doesn’t shy away from difficult questions about privilege\, solidarity\, and community. Over an authentic\, flavorful Indian lunch\, let’s dive deeper into the ties and fractures of a close-knit Indian-American family in the aftermath of a violent encounter with police. \nYour Adventure includes lunch\, dessert\, soft beverage\, tax\, gratuity\, and an opportunity to meet Shilpi up close and personal in an intimate setting. \n\nAbout the Author and Book\n \nShilpi Somaya Gowda is the New York Times bestselling author of 3 novels: Secret Daughter (2010)\, The Golden Son (2015)\, and The Shape of Family (2020).

It was a finalist for the South African Boeke Literary Prize and the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. It is currently in production with Amazon Studios to be a feature film\, starring Priyanka Chopra and Sienna Miller. \nHer new novel\, A Great Country\, explores themes of immigration\, generational conflict\, social class and privilege as it reconsiders the myth of the model minority and questions the price of the American dream. \n  \n\nAbout Himalayan Grill Restaurant\n  Himalayan Grill has been serving Indian Nepalese fine dining for over 20 years.
