One Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
3.0
This is about nine people that find themselves in a passport office when an earthquake hits. These individuals all have different reasons for why they are at the office and each story is revealed as these individuals realize their fate is tied up with everyone present.
To make the time pass and to distract from crisis at hand, each person is asked to share a story of "one amazing thing" that has happened in his/her life. These stories are told in third person and help the reader to better understand the character's reaction in the present situation.
The writing is lyrical and easy to read.
The ending is rather ambiguous, but it definitely leaves you thinking about what we appreciate in life and what we take for granted.
