Umrigar, Thrity N.2014
Book
Deeply affected by Lakshmi's loneliness and disturbed by her domineering husband, Maggie impulsively offers to treat her as an out-patient free of charge. However, when the sessions begin in Maggie's home office it's apparent that Lakshmi doesn't really need a doctor; she needs a friend. Maggie abandons protocol, determined to empower Lakshmi as a woman who feels valued in her own right, and the two develop a powerful relationship that is full of affection but also warped by conflicting expectations. Blossoming, on the road to healing her marriage, Lakshmi finally shares the reason for her departure from India - and inadvertently discovers that Maggie has a dark secret of her own. These revelations jeopardize everything they have worked so hard to build, forcing them to confront some extremely difficult choices.
