A Conversation with Author<br />
SONALI DEV<br />
® Sunday, October 13, 2:00–4:00 PM<br />
Bestselling author Sonali Dev uses her insights into Indian culture to<br />
conjure up Bollywood-style love stories that explore issues faced by<br />
women around the world while still indulging her faith in the idea of a<br />
happily-ever-after.<br />
The four books in her Bollywood Series capture the colorful spirit and<br />
fascinating details of Indian culture. Her Jane Austen-inspired novel,<br />
Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors, launches a new series about an<br />
immigrant family descended from Indian royalty who have built<br />
their lives in San Francisco.<br />
Hailed by Shelf Awareness as “not only one of the<br />
best but one of the bravest romance novelists<br />
working today,” Sonali has been featured<br />
on NPR, the Washington Post, Library<br />
Journal, and Kirkus Best Books of the Year<br />
lists. She has also won awards for best<br />
romance novel, the Romantic Times seal<br />
of excellence, and has been a Romance<br />
Writers of America RITA Award finalist.<br />
