HABITATIONS by Sheila Sundar received a rave review from BookPage. Reviewer Chika Gujarathi writes: “There are many reasons to love this novel. Vega’s journey will resonate in one way or another with anyone who has suffered loss or struggled with self-doubt. Sundar’s supporting characters and rich depiction of immigrant life round out Vega’s story, no doubt drawing on the author’s own experience growing up in the ’90s as the child of Indian immigrants to the U.S. Best of all, the novel speaks to the human experience of how the burdens we carry even¬tually come to define our strengths. Insightful and hopeful, HABITATIONS delivers on all fronts.” Simon & Schuster will publish the book on April 2, 2024.
