The narrator of this book, Raj, is a college professor and amateur tennis player whose life is dramatically altered after he makes a racist comment to the first other person of color to apply for his tennis club. The writing is well done and the topics covered are difficult and leave you thinking. The bulk of the book takes place in a single week and just shows you how much difference a week can make. Raj faces judgement at work and at the club and struggles with how to manage the stress while shielding his family from the worst or the harassment he faces. The characters are well written and feel alive on the page. The book is detailed but story driven and captivated the reader’s interest until the last page. I definitely recommend this one!
