Join us for a discussion of "The Museum of Failures: a novel" by Thrity Umrigar. Books are available at the service desk one month before the discussion.
Remy Wadia left India for the United States long ago, carrying his resentment of his mother with him.
He has now returned to Bombay to adopt a baby--and to see his elderly mother for the first time in several years. Discovering that she is in the hospital, has stopped talking, and seems to have given up on life, he is struck with guilt for not realizing just how sick she has become. His unexpected appearance and assiduous attention revives her and enables her to return to her home.
But when Remy finds an old photograph from his adoring late father, shocking long-held family secrets surface. -- Provided by publisher.
