Description
ALI SETHI will discuss his absorbing coming-of-age story, "The Wish Maker." The unforgettable story of a fatherless boy growing up in a household of outspoken women, "The Wish Maker" is also a tale of sacrifice, betrayal, and indestructible friendship. The novel chronicles world-changing events that have never been so intimately observed in fiction and brims with unmistakable warmth and humor. "The Wish Maker" is the powerful account of a family and an era, a story that shows how, even in the most rapidly shifting circumstances, there are bonds that survive the tugs of convention, time, and history.
