“An extraordinary novel, spiny and delicate, scathingly funny and wildly moving.” —Lauren Groff, author of Matrix
“Sarah Thankam Mathews’ prose is undeniable.” —Raven Leilani, author of Luster
An electrifying novel of a young immigrant building a life for herself—a warm, dazzling, and profound saga of queer love, friendship, work, and precarity in twenty-first century America
In spite of the recession that awaits her after college, Sneha earns enough at her grueling corporate job to begin to piece together a life in Milwaukee, Wisconsin—she forges friendships, falls headlong into her first love, and lends financial support to her parents back in India.
But before long, trouble arrives. Painful secrets rear their heads; jobs go off the rails; evictions loom. It’s then that Sneha's best friend, Tig, drafts a radical solution to their problems, hoping to save them all.
A beautiful and capacious novel rendered in singular, unforgettable prose, All This Could Be Different is a wise, tender, and riveting group portrait of young people forging love and community amidst struggle, and a moving story of one immigrant’s journey to make her home in the world.
