One Amazing Thing, by New York Times bestselling author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
NYT bestselling author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni recently visited Monroe, MI for a speaking engagement. Monroe County selected Divakaruni’s book, One Amazing Thing, as this year’s common read. Says Cheryl Johnston, co-chair of the common reads committee:
“The highlight of this year’s One Book, One Community of Monroe was definitely a visit from the author of One Amazing Thing, Chitra Divakaruni. She was a warm and engaging speaker to audiences both large and small. In her presentations, Chitra not only addressed the major themes of the novel, but generously offered practical suggestions for writers. The enthusiastic response from our community was overwhelming. We were especially fortunate to have Chitra visit the same week that her new novel, Oleander Girl was released, so we also enjoyed hearing the author read from the opening chapter. Anyone planning a community read should consider the work of Chitra Divakaruni. She is in a word, Amazing.”
