A magical realist coming-of- age story, Gold Diggers skewers the model minority myth to tell a hilarious and moving story about immigrant identity, community, and the underside of ambition. A floundering second-generation teenager growing up in the Bush-era Atlanta suburbs, Neil Narayan is funny and smart but struggles to bear the weight of expectations of his family and their Asian American enclave. He tries to want their version of success, but mostly, Neil just wants his neighbor across the cul-de-sac, Anita Dayal. When he discovers that Anita is the beneficiary of an ancient, alchemical potion made from stolen gold—a “lemonade” that harnesses the ambition of the gold’s original owner—Neil sees his chance to get ahead. But events spiral into a tragedy that rips their community apart. Years later in the Bay Area, Neil still bristles against his community's expectations—and finds he might need one more hit of that lemonade, no matter the cost. Sanjena Sathian’s astonishing debut offers a fine-grained, profoundly intelligent, and bitingly funny investigation into what's required to make it in America. 538 Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 291158 KB). 650 7 Fantasy.|2OverDrive 650 7 Literature.|2OverDrive 650 17 Fiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic audiobooks.|2local 700 1 Vallury, Rama. 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/5606345 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=01216d35- b975-4d7d-9e7d-4a0426a57443&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/ %7B01216D35-B975-4D7D-9E7D-4A0426A57443%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/ %7B01216D35-B975-4D7D-9E7D-4A0426A57443%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
