The World We Found -- Thrity Umrigar

<p><strong>"Stunning . . . . This is a novel that rewards reading, and even re-reading. <em>The World We Found</em> is a powerful meditation." --<em>Boston Globe</em></strong></p><p><strong>Thrity Umrigar, acclaimed author of <em>The Space Between Us </em>and <em>The Weight of Heaven</em>, returns with a breathtaking new novel--a skillfully wrought, emotionally resonant story of four women and the indelible friendship they share.</strong></p><p>As university students in late 1970s Bombay, Armaiti, Laleh, Kavita, and Nishta were inseparable. Spirited and unconventional, they challenged authority and fought for a better world. But over the past thirty years, the quartet has drifted apart, the day-to-day demands of work and family tempering the revolutionary fervor they once shared.</p><p>Then comes devastating news: Armaiti, who moved to America, is gravely ill and wants to see the old friends she left behind. For Laleh, reunion is a bittersweet reminder of unfulfilled dreams and unspoken guilt. For Kavita, it is an admission of forbidden passion. For Nishta, it is the promise of freedom from a bitter, fundamentalist husband. And for Armaiti, it is an act of acceptance, of letting go on her own terms.</p><p><em>The World We Found</em> is a dazzling masterwork from the remarkable Thrity Umrigar, offering an unforgettable portrait of modern India while it explores the enduring bonds of friendship and the power of love to change lives.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Thrity Umrigar<br>
