This week, I'm thrilled to have Namrata Patel back on the podcast to discuss her latest novel, The Curious Secrets of Yesterday, about a family of spice healers in Salem Massachusetts. Namrata gives us this inside scoop on crafting this comfort read, which is chock full of secrets, surprises, and relationships you'll root for. This is a book you'll want to slow down and savor this summer. 

On this episode I am joined by Namrata Patel. Namrata is an Indian-American author who lives in Boston. Her writing examines diaspora, dual-cultural identity among Indian-Americans and explores this dynamic while also touching on both—the family's we're born with and those we choose. She is the author of The Candid Life of Meena Dave and Scent of a Garden.We discuss burnout for women in a post-pandemic world and what that time frame has taught us. This was recorded prior to the SAG/WGA strikes so we also discuss our must-watch TV options and how laughter can be so healing to our nervous system. The Candid Life of Meena Dave follows Meena. She feels that it is safer to observe the world through the lens of her camera. She has no family, no permanent address, and apart from one college friend absolutely no long-term attachments beyond her professional contacts. Meena's world is turned upside down when she unexpectedly inherits an apartment in a Victorian brownstone in the historic neighborhood of Back Bay Boston. Meena decides to use her well-honed journalistic instincts to follow the story that landed her in the apartment of a stranger. It's a mystery that comes with a series of hidden clues, a trio of meddling Aunties, a strikingly handsome next-door neighbor, and a connection to her past that she never—ever expected. Throughout her investigation she learns how to make the perfect chai, forms friendships she never thought were possible, and confronts her own need to run as soon as the going gets good. About – Namrata Patel (nampatel.com)Namrata Patel (@namratapatelauthor) • Instagram photos and videosAshley (@filledupcup_) • Instagram photos and videosFilled Up Cup - Unconventional Self Care for Modern WomenSOLD On The DreamWhat's a life selling real estate really like?

Today, Namrata Patel is back on the podcast to discuss her new novel, Scent of a Garden, an exhilarating novel about a perfumer in Paris who is forced to return to her California roots where she winds up on a journey of self-discovery, reconnecting with family and finally taking some risks.

We have a REPLAY episode for you this week. Novelist Namrata Patel was on the show last June when her debut novel The Candid Life of Meena Dave came out. Just last week she had a new novel published, The Scent of A Garden. Both books feature complex multi-generational Indian-American families. ** Namrata Patel has been writing for 20 years, but it wasn't until the pandemic that she had more time to work on it. She had always been interested in dual culture and challenges of the diaspora, specifically Indians who had moved to the United States. The isolation of COVID really brought home how lonely life can be if you don't feel like you fit anywhere. Her debut novel The Candid Life of Meena Dave follows a photojournalist who inherits an apartment from a stranger. The apartment in Back Bay Boston surrounds her with a close-knit network of other Indian-Americans. Meena comes to learn more about herself and her culture, as well as understands the gift of found family and friendship through this experience.
