Join us on October 18 at 1:00 p.m. for a discussion and special voice appearance by Thrity Umrigar. The author of
Bombay Time,
If Today Be Sweet, and
The Weight of Heaven, Umrigar is as adept and compelling in
The Secrets Between Us (the long-awaited sequel to
The Space Between Us) — vividly capturing the social struggles of modern India in a luminous, addictively readable novel of honor, tradition, class, gender, and family. A portrayal of two women discovering an emotional rapport as they struggle against the confines of a rigid caste system, Umrigar’s captivating novel echoes the timeless intensity of Zora Neale Hurston’s
Their Eyes Were Watching God, Betty Smith’s
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and Barbara Kingsolver’s
The Poisonwood Bible—a quintessential triumph of modern literary fiction.
