Glamour   Conde Nast   Readers Digest   & more "A premise that would (and should) translate
well to a prestige television series."— Elle " The best...book I read this year was Gowda's
timely and touching A Great Country ."— San Diego Union-Tribune Pacific Hills  California:
Gated communities  ocean views  well-tended lawns  serene pools  and now the new home of the
Shah family. For the Shah parents  who came to America twenty years earlier with little more
than an education and their new marriage  this move represents the culmination of years of hard
work and dreaming. For their children  born and raised in America  success is not so simple.
For the most part  these differences among the five members of the Shah family are minor
irritants  arguments between parents and children  older and younger siblings. But one Saturday
night  the twelve-year-old son is arrested. The fallout from that event will shake each family
member’s perception of themselves as individuals  as community members  as Americans  and will
lead each to consider: how do we define success? At what cost comes ambition? And what is our
role and responsibility in the cultural mosaic of modern America? For readers of The Vanishing
Half by Brit Bennett and Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid  A Great Country explores themes of
immigration  generational conflict  social class and privilege as it reconsiders the myth of
the model minority and questions the price of the American dream.
