Author: Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

This book came from my Goodreads list but I have no idea who recommended it. I picked this book as well as another book by the author on a recent trip to the library.

The premise is the story of nine people trapped in a government office after an earthquake. To keep their minds off their life-and-death situation they each tell a story of “one amazing thing” from their lives.

It took me a long time to get through this short book, but that was only because I was busy doing other things. Otherwise I could probably have finished it in a couple of days; when I did get a chance to read I didn’t want to put it down.
