Synopsis

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.
