I hate when I finish a Good Book!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The World We Found <\/em>by Thrity Umrigar was a great read. \u00a0She is an Indian author who mixes the the Eastern and Western worlds. \u00a0I felt a kinship to each of the characters, 4 best friends that go their separate ways. \u00a0Then when one of the friends discovers she is seriously ill, she hopes to plan a reunion of her friends from many years ago.<\/p>\n

I loved this story. \u00a0It spoke to me in so many ways, of traditions and culture. \u00a0Of the things we so often just do, without questioning, knowing it is easy than to question the reasons of the generation behind us.<\/p>\n

I loved the men in this book. \u00a0I loved that despite it all, they loved their women… in their different ways.<\/p>\n

I always hate when a book ends without giving me a definite happily ever after. \u00a0I found myself aching for some of the characters in this book. \u00a0I loved the quoted by Truman Capote… “More tears have been shed over answered prayers than unanswered.” \u00a0<\/em>It made me pause, reflect and realize that I often only have myself to blame when things go my way.<\/p>\n

I loved that I’m not so much a stranger to this India as I was a year ago. \u00a0Now, as I read I could physically go back to this place of sights, sounds and smells so different from my every day world.<\/p>\n

I wish the pages had gone on, as I finished this book, ignoring the house work, making hotdogs for supper and emerged myself into the pages and places of this book.<\/p>\n

A definite good read.<\/p>\n
