Review:
“An American Brat is a coming-of-age story, a sensitive portrait of how modern America appears to a new arrival….. While attending college in Denver, Feroza falls in love with a Jewish student. After hearing that they intend to marry, her mother sets out for America hellbent on changing her mind. The battles fought by mother, daughter and boyfriend are handled deftly, illuminating the difficulties that arise when culture takes a back seat to the search for self-definition. Ms. Sidhwa's writing is brisk and funny, her characters painted so vividly you can almost hear them bickering”.The New York Times
“Feroza exactly reflects the dilemmas of those born in the Third World who can flourish only in another”. Kirkus Reviews
"The reader's reaction to it shares the symptoms of eating jalapeno peppers: wincing from the power of the substance and wiping tears. . . Sidhwa's plot is compelling. Her style is inimitable." The Publisher
