Before the day is up, be sure to head over to Booklist where the Book Review of the Day is, The World We Found by Thrity Umrigar. Thrity is the author of four novels—The Weight of Heaven, The Space Between Us, If Today Be Sweet, and Bombay Time—and the memoir First Darling of the Morning. A journalist for almost twenty years, she is the winner of the Nieman Fellowship to Harvard, winner of the 2009 Cleveland Arts Prize, and 2006 finalist for the PEN/Beyond Margins Award.
Allison Block from Booklist calls The World We Found "eloquent and evocative, bitter and sweet," and I would like you to be able to sample this beautiful book.
