Keya Das's Second Act
by Sopan Deb
Thank you to Simon and Schuster & NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!
Available July 5th 2022
Keya Das's Second Act is a remarkable work of fiction. With all the pathos and timing of an Indian drama series, the story follows the Das family, a group of Indian Americans living in New Jersey. When Shantanu Das finds his younger daughter's secret play in the attic, he is forced to reckon with a past he had thought he had left behind. in time, the family faces fears and dreams they had held onto for so long. One of the many things I admired about this book is the way Deb uses Bangla without transliterating the language. It is rare and beautifully done. The characters have so much depth that you almost wish they were real people you could call. This is a feel-good novel that will make you want to spend more time with your family!
