About Thrity's latest book:

Available now at bookstores everywhere

The World We Found

"Stunning in its credibility and nuance. . . this is a novel that rewards reading, and even re-reading."
---Boston Globe

"Alive with finely drawn and richly developed characters...affecting but not cloying, thoughtful but not preachy."
--Plain Dealer

"Because of the fluid mastery of Umrigar's writing, all four of her women will matter to readers (and resonate and disturb and inspire) and the world they found (equally disturbing and enlightening) will be known, and discussed, and remembered."
--Huffington Post

"Umrigar renders a vivid portrait of modern-day India as she meditates upon the power of friendship, loyalty, and love. Like her previous works, THE WORLD WE FOUND is eloquent and evocative, bitter
and sweet."

- Booklist (starred review)
