Greek Wildflowers

Chasing dreams and the tales of wealth that had been whispered about the foreign world, an Indian family moves from country to country, struggling to fit in with all the new cultures they encounter. When they end up in Greece, the youngest daughter, Prati Umesh, is just old enough to discover how society and its intricacies work. Faced with questions about the complexities of her family, her budding romantic interests, and the way her Indian heritage and at-home life mixes with that of school and those around her, Prati walks through life with her eyes and her mind wide open. Written in a collection of short stories with a common narrator, this story features chapters and poems that have won awards and have been complemented by the New York Times magazine editors for its admirability, especially given the author's age. Delve into the all too real, lyrical journey of a young girl as she figures out how to navigate the world between her cultural differences, sexuality, and the gaps in her family.
