Paddy Indian

Humorous and thoughtful, this fish-out-of-water tale follows an Indian immigrant in Ireland. The migrant, a young doctor from an extremely wealthy and western medical family from Madras, arrives in Ireland with high hopes. When he joins a Dublin hospital on a fellowship, he discovers that, to many, he is just another �foreign doctor.� His stories of acclimation speak of identity, belonging, and the home (and meals) the young man left behind in this insightful but lighthearted novel.
