Veena Rao talks about Purple Lotus

I'm excited to introduce today's conversation with Veena Rao, Atlanta-based author of Purple Lotus that has won all kinds of awards. The 2021 Winner of the AmericanFiction Award, Rao was Georgia Author of the Year Award Finalist in 2021. She's an Award-Winning Finalist in Women's Fiction for the 2021 International Book Awards. Rao is also an Award-Winning Finalist for Multicultural Fiction in the 2021 International Book Awards.

Just listen to what Newsweek magazine has to say. "Rao’s resonant novel is an ode to the value of personal dignity and the importance of being true to oneself that carries on long after the final chapter."

Kirkus Reviews calls it a moving and polished novel that highlights Rao's literary promise.

Purple Lotus is the dazzling tale of an Indian American woman finding her way through the labyrinth of tradition to self-awareness in the modern world, according to Author Elaine Neil Orr.

Tara's story is one of hope and a woman's finding her own self-worth. Rao’s novel is about women empowering other women.
