HABITATIONS by Sheila Sundar was featured on theSkimm’s “Most Talked-About Spring Book Releases.” Skimms Reads editor Jana Pollack writes: “Before I get into the plot, I’ll just say: this debut novel is unassuming — easy to read, easy to get into — but it’s full of such feeling that I almost stopped reading because it made me too sad. It follows Vega Gopalan, an Indian-American grad student at Columbia University. The central sadness of her life (and the grief that almost kept me away) is the death of her sister. The book follows Vega to America, a marriage, a divorce, and motherhood, and quietly asks questions about identity and what ‘home’ really means. I’m so glad I kept going.” Simon & Schuster will publish HABITATIONS on April 2, 2024.
