Soft cover. Zustand: New. Deep wants out—out of his family, his city and, more than anything else, his life. His parents argue ceaselessly, his dad spends nights shouting at the television, and his brother, who hasn't said a word in over a year, suddenly turns to him one day and tells him to die. So when Lily—beautiful, older and married—shows him more than a flicker of attention, he falls heedlessly in love. It doesn't help that Lily is an alcoholic, hates her husband, and doesn't think much of herself or her immigrant Chinese roots. When, one day, his brother disappears, Deep's obsession with Lily truly flies out of control. Ranbir Sidhu's novel takes us into the heart of another America and into the lives of 'the other Indians'—the ones who don't get talked about and whose stories don't get written. Sharp, funny, and unsentimental, Deep Singh Blue chronicles America's underbelly racism while taking us into the heart of a wildly dysfunctional family trying its best—and too often failing—to gain a foothold in their adopted land.…
