What is The Invitation : a Novel about?

When Vikram invites three of his college friends to his sons graduation from MIT, they accept out of obligation and curiosity, viewing the party as a twenty-fifth reunion of sorts. Village genius Vikram, now the founder of a lucrative computer company, is having the party against his sons wishes. Frances and Jay regret accepting: Frances, a real estate agent, hasn't sold a house in a year; Jays middle management job isn't brag worthy; and their daughter is failing the eleventh grade. Lali plans to hide the fact that her once-happy marriage is crumbling because her American husband is discovering his Jewish roots. Each had left UCLA expecting to be successful and have even more successful children. At Vikrams Newport Beach mansion, the showmanship they anticipate dissolves as each is forced to deal with his or her own problems. The follow-up to A Good Indian Wife , Anne Cherians novel resonates with the poignancy of real life colliding with expectations unmet.
