 Rakesh Satyal wrote No One Can Pronounce My Name. This novel is about Indian immigrants settled near Cleveland, Ohio. Ranjana is in her mid 40's. Her son has just gone off to study chemistry at Princeton. She decides to get a job at a doctor's office to keep herself occupied. She also is in a writer's group. Harit is a more recent immigrant. He is near 40 and he lives with his mother. Both Harit and his mother are grieving the loss of Harit's older sister who died in a sudden accident. Harit works at a clothing store selling men's accessories. When Ranjana and Harit meet, their friendship and connection to each other forms a community of people. The author's tender portrayal of Harit and Ranjana along with the Indian culture makes for a very pleasant read.
