"Powerful. . . . Twisty, brimming with dark humor and keen moral
insight, The Weight of Heaven packs a wallop on both a literary and
emotional level. . . . Umrigar . . . is a descriptive master." --
Christian Science Monitor From Thrity Umrigar, bestselling author
of The Space Between Us, comes The Weight of Heaven. In the rich
tradition of the acclaimed works of Indian writers such as Rohinton
Mistry, Akhil Sharma, Indra Sinha, and Jhumpa Lahiri, The Weight of
Heaven is an emotionally charged story about unexpected death,
unhealed wounds, and the price one father will pay to protect
himself from pain and loss. Additionally, it offers unique
perspectives, both Indian and American, on the fragmented nature of
globalized India.
