Namrata Patel is an Indian-American author who lives in Boston. Her writing examines diaspora, dual-cultural identity among Indian-Americans and explores this dynamic while also touching on both—the family’s we’re born with and those we choose. Namrata has lived in India, Spokane, London, and New York City. Namrata has been writing for most of her adult life and loves creating characters who are relatable and aspirational. Her heroines range from quiet to kick-ass and her heroes are swoon-worthy, if a little flawed. Her first novel The Candid Life of Meena Dave was long listed for Best First Novel Prize by The Center for Fiction. Namrata’s second novel The Scent of a Garden was published in 2023, and her third novel The Curious Secrets of Yesterday is out now.
