What if home isn't a place, but the sum of everywhere you've ever belonged-and not belonged?
In 'Between Mango Trees & Maple Leaves', Saanvi Thakur invites readers on an evocative journey across continents, cultures, and contradictions. From the chaotic warmth of Delhi's bazaars to the polished stillness of Ellicott City, Maryland, this coming-of-age memoir explores what it means to grow up in-between.
With wit, honesty, and vivid detail, Saanvi captures the messy beauty of life across India and the United States - navigating street food feasts, shopping malls that masquerade as cathedrals, festivals ablaze with fire and feeling, and quiet moments of reflection beside ancestral ponds. Along the way, she wrestles with identity, belonging, and the powerful pull of family roots.
Part travelogue, part cultural commentary, and wholly heartfelt, this is a story for anyone who's ever straddled two worlds and wondered where they truly fit.
