Lindsay Pereira
'Lindsay Pereira's deep dive into the world of Indian immigrants to Canada proves once again his claims to being one of India's most interesting and daring novelists. These lost lives are limned with empathy and touched by grace.' -- Jerry Pinto
'A gorgeously written, powerfully rendered novel of migration, striving, hopes and dreams. Lindsay Pereira's world is deeply moving and hard to leave.' -- Sonia Faleiro
'Deeply empathetic and eerily unsettling, Super unpicks in forensic detail the makings and aftermath of the migration dream, and the price it extracts from the youth.' -- Santanu Bhattacharya
What does it mean to chase a dream across oceans, only to find its edges fraying on arrival?
When Sukhpreet Gill thinks of Canada, he imagines a future of promise and prosperity, a life of sprawling townhouses and easy money. It is a vision that propels him to mortgage family land, leave Jalandhar and the girl he loves, and make his way to a country that isn't ready to accept him.
On the other side of the world, Maynard Wilson is coming to terms with a nation that has nothing left to offer Canadians like him. Unemployed, with maxed-out credit cards and no savings, he risks being evicted from his rented apartment. When his path intersects with Sukhpreet's, the collision has terrible consequences.
Tender and heartfelt, award-winning writer Lindsay Pereira's most ambitious novel yet is an unforgettable exploration of immigration, identity, and the intense yearning for a better life -- along with the often-devastating cost that comes with it.
