Spirited and unconventional, they challenged authority and fought for a better world. But over the past thirty years, the quartet has drifted apart, the day-to-day demands of work and family tempering the revolutionary fervor they once shared. Then comes devastating news: Armaiti, who moved to America, is gravely ill and wants to see the old friends she left behind. For Laleh, reunion is a bittersweet reminder of unfulfilled dreams and unspoken guilt. For Kavita, it is an admission of forbidden passion. For Nishta, it is the promise of freedom from a bitter, fundamentalist husband. And for Armaiti, it is an act of acceptance, of letting go on her own terms. The World We Found is a dazzling masterwork from the remarkable Thrity Umrigar, offering an unforgettable portrait of modern India while it explores the enduring bonds of friendship and the power of love to change lives.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2864j1v6cyh4qtsz1tmq31.jpg?v=1589a9f41a","LTOC1YpZ?ZQ.yWWGiwX8~TVZE4jE",2012,221,[513],{"id":514,"slug":515,"name":516},"01kx241wmna6h9pkfq26sn3jj2","thrity-umrigar-ztpe","Thrity Umrigar",[518,519],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":520,"name":521,"slug":522,"is_fiction":21},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[],{"pace":155,"complexity":10,"audience":157,"mood":525,"themes":526,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[369,160],[],{"id":528,"slug":529,"title":530,"description":531,"primary_cover_url":532,"cover_blurhash":533,"first_publish_year":534,"community_rating_avg":488,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":535,"authors":536,"genres":541,"series":548,"enrichment":549},"01kx27zkw6fzvs5dmyb08qx2gy","missing-mom-wyyv","Missing Mom","When Nikki Eaton's estranged mother is murdered by a drug dealer and left for dead on her doorstep, the investigation pulls together three women bound to her: Nikki, who has spent years burying her own history of abuse; Gwen's sister, an older woman with a different set of secrets; and their neighbor, whose affair with Nikki complicates everything.

A LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2026 * “Tense...Witty...Impeccably written.” —Glamour, Best Books for Book Clubs 2026 * “A unicorn...Truly thought-provoking.” —Bustle, Best New Books of MarchSam, an adjunct professor at a public university in Baltimore, takes a last-minute position at the private liberal arts college down the road. Overworked and underpaid, she lives in a blur of back-to-back classes, side hustles, and job applications for an ever-dwindling number of tenure-track jobs. Her already precarious existence is thrown into disarray when she runs into her former grad school adviser, Dr. Tom Sternberg, on campus. Tom and Sam have a complicated history, and it’s the last thing she wants to think about as she navigates academic politics, institutional hurdles, and romantic entanglements with men and women that further complicate a sexuality not even she can define. Then she learns that Tom left his old job for undisclosed reasons—and his long-awaited second novel is about a professor reckoning with his checkered past. As rumors spread that Sam is the inspiration behind a central character, she fights to regain control of the story. An “entertaining, provocative” (Brooklyn Rail) look at how hustle culture has come to define modern academia, The Adjunct offers a bold twist on a tangled MeToo story and turns Sam’s downward spiral into a searing critique of class and the hollow promises of the American dream.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2b7r6a2n3dch6m59kekf4a.jpg?v=ee37c1e789","L9Q$3B_3*Kl;8wMd-:d9p1VHHVxn",2026,352,[778],{"id":779,"slug":780,"name":781},"01kx2b7r63kzcfzgh9pxyhnf7s","maria-adelmann-sis1","Maria Adelmann",[783,784],{"id":313,"name":314,"slug":315,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":238,"complexity":10,"audience":157,"mood":787,"themes":788,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[343,344],[789],"morally-grey",{"id":791,"slug":792,"title":793,"description":794,"primary_cover_url":795,"cover_blurhash":796,"first_publish_year":353,"community_rating_avg":303,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":797,"authors":798,"genres":803,"series":806,"enrichment":807},"01kx24r6mag3enf51683esxgr0","the-safety-of-objects-bogn","The Safety of Objects","Published to overwhelming critical acclaim, this remarkable collection of short stories established A.
