The Weight of Heaven
Thrity Umrigar brings the scent of spices and the vibrant Indian culture to life in her latest book, The Weight of Heaven. This emotionally charged story of a couple, who travels from the United States to India after the loss of their son, captures the hardship of their transition and the hope for enlightenment. Umrigar is the author of three other novels, and a memoir. She is an associate professor of English at Case Western Reserve University.
