内容简介
Thrity Umrigar, acclaimed author ofThe Space Between UsandThe Weight of Heaven, returns with a breathtaking new novel—a skillfully wrought, emotionally resonant story of four women and the indelible friendship they share. Fans of Jennifer Haigh’sFaith, Jhumpa Lahiri’sInterpreter of Maladies, and Katrina Kittle’sThe Kindness of Strangerswill be captivated by Umrigar’sThe World We Found—a moving story of bottled secrets, unfulfilled dreams, and the acceptance that can still lead to redemption, from a writer whom theNew York Timescalls “perceptive and often piercing.”
