February Book Club: The Weight of Heaven by Thrity Umrigar

From Thrity Umrigar, bestselling author of The Space Between Us, comes The Weight of Heaven. In the rich tradition of the acclaimed works of Indian writers such as Rohinton Mistry, Akhil Sharma, Indra Sinha, and Jhumpa Lahiri, The Weight of Heaven is an emotionally charged story about unexpected death, unhealed wounds, and the price one father will pay to protect himself from pain and loss. Additionally, it offers unique perspectives, both Indian and American, on the fragmented nature of globalized India.

We’ll meet in the non-fiction room of the shop — doors open at 10 am, and we’ll begin our discussion at 10:10.

If the event is full, please still come! We usually have less people than the limit - if you are on the waitlist, then come on!
Feel free to bring a coffee and a snack to share — we always welcome good conversation and good company around the table.
