description | First is the story of 18-year-old Darcy Patel, a sophisticated and Americanized daughter of immigrant, well-to-do parents from India. [...]once inside his book, who among these "vast numbers" wouldn't envy an 18-year-old who gets invited to go along on a book tour with two other YA authors, including the slightly older and more sophisticated Imogen, who provides the love interest in the story? Fortunately for the sake of the story, Yama, the Hindu Death god, has assumed the body of a 17-year-old boy who, of course, takes a prominent role in this story, which delves into Gujarati culture and Indian religion, along with American customs of writing, publishing, and promoting the sale of books to young readers. |
