A floundering second-generation teenager growing up in the Bush-era Atlanta suburbs, Neil Narayan is funny and smart but struggles to bear the weight of expectations of his family and their Asian American enclave. He tries to want their version of success, but mostly, Neil just wants his neighbor across the cul-de-sac, Anita Dayal.
When he discovers that Anita is the beneficiary of an ancient, alchemical potion made from stolen gold—a “lemonade” that harnesses the ambition of the gold’s original owner—Neil sees his chance to get ahead. But events spiral into a tragedy that rips their community apart. Years later in the Bay Area, Neil still bristles against his community's expectations—and finds he might need one more hit of that lemonade, no matter the cost."--cAmazon. 0aEast Indian AmericansvFiction. 0aMagic realism (Literature) 7aBildungsromans.2gsafd 7aFiction.2lcgft0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf201402633908iOnline version:aSathian, Sanjena.tGold diggersdNew York : Penguin Press, 2021.z9781984882042w(DLC) 2020022223  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBKe23h813.6iSa82gkFICm2021n0  00102ddc4070aCSPCbCSPCcFICd2026-01-24l0oFIC Sa82g 2021p031087r2026-01-24 15:50:28t1-1w2026-01-24yBK  c31590d31590
