EDISON
The Debut Novel by Pallavi Sharma Dixit
Available Now!
"In this effervescent debut . . . a large cast of endearing characters, including Prem’s roommates and the Bollywood performers he recruits, round out the story, which is enlivened by Dixit’s natural gift for screwball comedy. This romp is one to savor."
—- Publishers Weekly
“A sparkling epic worthy of Bollywood’s silver screens.”
—- Kirkus Reviews
“Edison by Pallavi Sharma Dixit is a gem of a novel and a paean to Edison, New Jersey’s Little India.”
—- BookTrib
EDISON is a Bollywood-style love story brimming with song and dance, action and comedy, a love triangle, angry parents, an evil villain, and cameos by real Indian actors - a hilariously moving love letter to Bollywood and to the Indian American community of Edison, New Jersey, where debut author Pallavi Sharma Dixit grew up.
PALLAVI SHARMA DIXIT was born in India and raised in New Jersey. She was a winner of the Asian American Writers’ Workshop’s Pages in Progress Prize for Edison, her debut novel.
