Gold Diggers

Wow, I only read this book 2 years ago? It seems so much longer ago than that!

I never fleshed out my thoughts on this book, so here's what I jotted down.

What is American?
How many immigrants lured by the Prospect of success (literally gold in this book?) learn that the treasure is illusory?

Neil:obsessed with history because living in the present too difficult. Early on, before lemonade, Ramesh Uncle showed Neil the beauty of history, even obscure footnotes to history. Neil needs to learn to balance history, the present, and future.

Later in the book: unable to face “failure” and look towards future, so much so that he is ill at the certain happiness his sister and fiancée find looking for a home.

Coming of age: first half of book so good and could not put down. Dragged a bit in the middle, but maybe in purpose because Neil was dragging.
