Brockton Public Library presents “Morsels of Purple” by Author Sara Siddiqui Chansarkar

Virtual Author Talk-Morsels of Purple by Sara Siddiqui Chansarkar 

In her debut collection, Sara Siddiqui Chansarkar explores the intricacies of familial love and duty, questioning what it means to be a wife, daughter and mother. These 54 stories, snapshotting life’s more bruising moments—soured marriages, infertility, gender inequality and grief—are tempered by lush descriptions and mouth-watering meals, from a mother’s mango pickles to bewitched halwa. Chansarkar skillfully transports the reader from the suburbs of Ohio to the perfumed courtyards of India, creating in Morsels of Purple a gorgeous, multicultural feast.” — Sara Hills, author of The Evolution of Birds
