THE KARMA MAP

Narrators Soneela Nankani and Fajer Al-Kaisi are a winning combination in this contemporary romance. Tara and Silas, both young adults who are searching for meaning, meet while part of a tour group in India. While both attempt to embrace their Indian heritage, at the same time they recognize that their U.S. citizenship brings privileges. The romance between these two is a slow burn and is realistically narrated. Each character takes on an individual goal: Silas learns about queer culture in India, and Tara explores core aspects of Indian womanhood. These subplots help create a full listening experience. Side characters are given unique personalities that reflect their diversity. This audiobook is especially recommended for romantics with wanderlust.
