Welcome to Litsy!

5 Stars • The World We Found by Thrity Umrigar follows four women who were idealistic friends in 1970s Bombay. Decades later, Armaiti, dying of cancer in the U.S., seeks a reunion. Laleh and Kavita, now a doctor and a lesbian navigating India's norms, search for Nishta, trapped in a fundamentalist marriage. Through flashbacks and a tense reunion, the novel explores friendship, lost dreams, and India's social divides, blending hope and heartbreak.

This novel surrounds four women who are drawn together again thirty years after university by a tragedy. Struggling with their past, society and this new disturbance, there comes a beautiful and thought provoking novel about endurance, freedom and life. I recommend this book for people who like books with realism, dark topics and a powerful narrative.
