The Taste of Ginger

The Taste of Ginger
The Taste of Ginger

Immigrant's journey confronting identity, family, and love.

"The Taste of Ginger" could resonate with you if you've ever felt caught between cultures or struggled with the expectations of family versus your own desires. Mansi Shah weaves a compelling narrative that explores the complexities of family ties, identity, and the all-too-human quest to find where one truly belongs. It might just be the book to accompany you as you unravel your own thoughts on belonging and self-discovery.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In Mansi Shah’s stunning debut novel, a family tragedy beckons a first-generation immigrant to the city of her birth, where she grapples with her family’s past in search of where she truly belongs. After her parents moved her and her brother to America, Preeti Desai never meant to tear her family apart. All she did was fall in love with a white Christian carnivore instead of a conventional Indian boy. Years later, with her parents not speaking to her and her controversial relationship in tatters, all Preeti has left is her career at a prestigious Los Angeles law firm. But when Preeti receives word of a terrible accident in the city where she was born, she returns to India, where she’ll have to face her estranged parents…and the complicated past they left behind. Surrounded by the sights and sounds of her heritage, Preeti catches a startling glimpse of her family’s battles with class, tradition, and sacrifice. Torn between two beautifully flawed cultures, Preeti must now untangle what home truly means to her.
