In honour of South Asian Heritage Month, join Brown and Booked for August’s book club pick: Late Bloomers by Deepa Varadarajan

Bring a friend or come solo, you don’t have to have finished (or even read) to join the discussion, so book a ticket and see you there.

About the Book:

‘I have a soft spot for underdogs. And late bloomers. You’ve told me a lot of things about yourself, so let me tell you something about me.’

An Indian American family is turned upside down when the parents divorce thirty-six years into their arranged marriage​ in this witty, big-hearted debut.

After thirty-six years of a dutiful but unhappy arranged marriage, recently divorced Suresh and Lata Raman find themselves starting new paths in life. Suresh is trying to navigate the world of online dating on a website that caters to Indians and is striking out at every turn–until he meets a mysterious, devastatingly attractive younger woman who seems to be smitten with him. Lata is enjoying her newfound independence, but she’s caught off guard when a professor in his early sixties starts to flirt with her.

Charming, funny, and moving, Late Bloomers introduces a delightful new voice in fiction with the story of four individuals trying to understand how to be happy in their own lives–and as a family.
