Description: Stealing the Ambassador showcases an astonishing new talent that captures the clashing dynamics of family and cultures with a power that will remind readers of Zadie Smith's "White Teeth" and Jhumpa Lahiri's Pulitzer Prize-winning "Interpreter of Maladies." Twenty-three-year-old Rajiv Kothari is caught between two formidable men: a father who believed success and freedom could be found only in America and a grandfather who fought to guarantee such ideals in India, their homeland. As the stories of each generation unfold, "Stealing the Ambassador" illuminates the interplay between the forces of history and family ties. A beautifully rendered depiction of the immigrant experience, "Stealing the Ambassador" is also an unforgettable portrait of the tortured yet loving relationships between fathers and sons.
