The World We Found / Thiry Umrigar / 308 pages

"What kind of trick was youth that they believed the words of a pop song ("Bridge Over Troubled Water")as fervently as others believed in God."  Armaiti, Laleh, Kavita, and Nishta were inseparable during their college days in Bombay in the late 1970's.  They were politically involved and hoped to right the wrongs in their native India.  As often happened, time and circumstances have separated the friends.  Thirty years later Armaiti, who has married an American and moved to America, is diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor.  She wishes to see her old friends before she dies.  The World We Found is an account of the circumstances resulting in this reunion.  Outstanding!!
