THRITY UMRIGAR WILL INTRODUCE "THE WORLD WE FOUND" AT ORINDA BOOKS

Jan 24 2012 2:00 pm

The acclaimed author of The Space Between Us—still a favorite with local book groups—and The Weight of Heaven returns to Orinda Books to discuss her new novel, a beautifully written story of four women and the unbreakable ties they forged when they were university students in Bombay in the turbulent 70s. Over the subsequent thirty years their paths changed as the demands of work and family tempered the revolutionary ardor they once shared. When they reconnect, their reunion brings a confrontation between their early ideals and their lives in a compromised present.
Thrity Umrigar’s new novel offers an unforgettable portrait of modern India—a nation struggling to bridge economic, religious, gender and generational divides. The World We Found is a dazzling masterwork from this remarkable author who we are delighted to welcome again to the Orinda Bookstore.

ORINDA BOOKS WELCOMES LOCAL CRAFTSPEOPLE

 


 


At Orinda Books, we have invited local artisans to bring in examples of their work from which we could select those that would be appropriate for display and sale at the bookstore. The response has been overwhelming. Seasonal gifts selected from these craftspeople are unique and very affordable. There is a new look to the west side of Orinda Books. Come in and admire and perhaps purchase examples of the inventive craftsmanship of your friends and neighbors. They offer some intriguing holiday gift options.

 

And in January, Robert Wahrhaftig's striking acrylic portraits are on our walls. Come and enjoy.
