CBC Radio Studio One Book Club | Padma Viswanathan | Vancouver

padma-viswanathan.jpgThe CBC Radio Studio One Book Club is springing back into action on Monday April 14 with the debut novel of one of the 2008 New Faces of Fiction, Padma Viswanathan. The Toss of a Lemon is based on family stories her Grandmother told her growing up in Edmonton. It's an evocative tale of a young Brahmin bride widowed with two children at the age of 18, with the private turmoil of family immersed in the upheaval of India's intense social and political transformation.

Join the conversation with Sheryl MacKay, special co-host (and Schema editor!) Jen Sookfong Lee (last year's New Face of Fiction) and Padma Viswanathan! To enter to win tickets, go to www.cbc.ca/bc/bookclub But hurry, because the deadline for entry is Thursday April 10.
