The World We Found by Thrity Umrigar
For Bombay university students the 1970s were an exciting time. Friends Armaiti, Kavita, Nishta and Laleh were involved in the demonstrations and protests of the era, inspired by the dreams of a “new India” where women would be able to experience economic, social and political power.
Thirty years later, divisions of class and religion are still prevalent in India. The women have drifted apart. Kavita and Laleh are living middle-class lives, Nishta has converted to Islam but feels like an outsider in the Muslim community, Armaiti is living in the United States where she has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Her dying wish is to see her four friends one final time.
The women gather to reminisce about their past and examine the choices they have made in their lives.
