Eleni N. Gage
Eleni N. Gage explores the tug of war between two homelands, two cultures, and two selves in her debut novel, Other Waters (St. Martin's Griffin, $25.99) A young Indian-American doctor is caught between the ostensibly scientific Western culture that guides her everyday life as a medical practitioner, and the faith-based Eastern tradition of her heritage, in which the mystical belief in curses, prayers, gods, and goddesses is as real as medical knowledge. "A Jane Austen-ish plot gets a delicious Indian accent in this effervescent novel."―People. Gage is also the author of the memoir North of Ithaka.
