Bhira Backhaus - Book Reading and Signing May 9, 2009

Meet author Bhira Backhaus as she reads from and signs copies of her book, Under the Lemon Tree. In the tradition of Jhumpa Lahiri and Arundhati Roy, Under the Lemon Trees is poised to speak to this same audience in an historically successful market. A stellar debut from an acclaimed writer, this is a story about finding love and discovering a true home while navigating traditions, family and faith—part Bend it Like Beckham, part Monsoon Wedding, this is a cultural and romantic tour de force. A beautifully written debut novel of a young Indian woman struggling between embracing her heritage and fitting in as an American.
