WHERE EARTH MEETS WATER
Book ID/图书代码： 14939913B66609
English Summary/英文概要： IN THIS POIGNANT AND BREATHTAKING DEBUT, ONE MAN SEARCHES FOR MEANING IN THE WAKE OF INCOMPARABLE TRAGEDY…
Karom Seth should have been in the Twin Towers on the morning of 9/11, and on the Indian shores in 2004, when the tsunami swept his entire family into the ocean. Whether it’s a curse or a blessing, Karom can’t be sure, but his absence from these disasters has left him with crushing guilt—and a belief that fate has singled him out for invincibility.
Karom’s affliction consumes everyone around him, from his best friend, Lloyd, to his girlfriend, Gita, who hopes that a trip to India will help him find peace. It is in Delhi that he meets Gita’s grandmother, Kamini—a quirky but wise woman with secrets of her own. At first Karom dismisses Kamini, but little does he realize that she will ultimately lead him to the clarity he’s been looking for.
Spanning the globe from New York to India, Where Earth Meets Water is a stunning portrait of a quest for human understanding, and a wise exploration of grief, survival and love in all its forms.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Karom Seth的经历悲惨而惊人，在无法想象的悲剧发生之后,他不断寻找着人生的意义。
9.11的清晨，他本应在双子塔里，就如同2004年他也应该在印度海岸，那天的海啸夺去了他所有亲人的生命。Karim也不明白这究竟算是祸还是福，但是只他一人死里逃生使他背负了沉重的内疚感，他同时也相信是上帝挑选他要成为坚不可摧的人。
Karom的悲剧牵动着身边人的心，包括他的朋友Lloyd还有女朋友Gita。Gita希望一次印度之旅可以帮助他找到心灵的平静。在德里，Karom遇到了Gita的祖母，Kamini，一个古怪但智慧，又充满了神秘感的女性。一开始，Karom不愿意见Kamini，但慢慢地他意识到Karom会引领着自己找到自己一直在寻找的那份澄明。
故事背景横跨纽约与印度，《当土壤与海水相遇》是对人类理解追求的极好写照，也是对悲痛，生存，爱及生命中其他事物的一种探索。(XAT)
