booksbydorothea 's review for:
A Great Country
by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
4.0 stars
DEFINITE recommendation
I received a complimentary Kindle e-book in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own. Thank you to Shilpi Somay Gowda, Mariner Books, Book Club Girl, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.
This is a very thought-provoking book. It is about the arrest of a 12-year-old boy and mistaken appearances and prejudices. It is all about the effect of the arrest on the Shah family - Ashok, Priya (immigrant parents from India), and their American-born children Deepa, Maya, and Ajay. The entire family rethinks what is important to them including family and friends who are family.
This situation could happen anywhere in the United States and that is the problem. We need to do better as parents, communities, and police departments.
I will be thinking about this book for a long time.
