SCR contributor Shobha Rao's ("Bunny," issue 51.1) new novel, Indian Country, was published today by Penguin Random House.

Penguin Random House describes Indian Country as a fearless novel where a "couple from India—so different from generations of white colonialists who came before them—move to Montana, only to discover how brutal and unforgiving hubris can be."

You can get Indian Country on Penguin Random House's website and Amazon.
