Namesake was wonderful to listen to!! Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is a popular author at EGR (book clubs, I believe). And I've always loved the covers of Mango Season (Malladi) and The Sari Shop (Bajwa). Perhaps there's an Indian-themed display in my future! Movies like Bend it Like Bekham, Bride and Prejudice and Monsoon Wedding have beautiful footage of Indian traditions.

Since you already did my Da Vinci Code readalike update, I was actually thinking about doing a bookmark on Indian fiction. If you hold off on the display for a few months, you can use my bookmark...
