Novelist, Thrity Umrigar, whom I recently interviewed, states that she grew up in a middle-class home in Bombay, India that was not necessarily overflowing with books.
Her father owned a business and while she encouraged to read and develop proper use of language, stating that she wanted to become a writer would not have been viewed as the best thing. She states that some would have giggled at her.
