Seeking Fortune Elsewhere by Sindya Bhanoo. Seeking Fortune Elsewhere is one of our favorite books of 2022. We picked this up to read, but ended up reading them all, unable to peel away from this short story collection. Bhanoo’s characters are Tamil men and women. Some of whom live in India and some who have come to America to make their lives. In Malliga Homes, the narrator, who like many others at the retirement home thinks about her life. We want to mention every story and person in the collection, the divorced woman whose daughter invites her father’s girlfriend but not her to a trip. With women who gossip who worked as a Tamil actress and then a politician, an Indian professor. He under scrutiny over a complaint that he misused them for household chores.
We hope you enjoy either of these two or both. You can find it on amazon and even found at most libraries. Happy reading. We also hope you enjoy this book as much as us here at Uptown Rentals Athens.
