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.
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.
The World We Found 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.
