Told through a chorus of voices, Oindrila Mukherjee’s debut novel The Dream Builders explores the cultural impact the United States has had on India, past and present. Colonization and globalization touch the lives of each of the characters, who experience vastly different class and gender divisions.

From KMUW Studios, part of the NPR Podcast Network, this is Marginalia.
