Thrity in California; her phone took side trip

Thrity Umrigar

Former Beacon Journal reporter turned author Thrity Umrigar is touring California, doing readings from her novels set in her native India at such posh locations as the Beverly Hills Hilton. 

She loves the limo treatment but hit a speed bump when she lost her cellphone. Modern technology located it and it was FedExed to her.

Her books include “The Weight of Heaven,” “If Today Be Sweet,” “The Space Between Us” and “First Darling of the Morning.”

Thrity, born in Bombay, teaches creative writing and journalism at Case Western Reserve University.
