Deep River by Shusaku Endo is a thoughtful read about some pilgrims traveling to India, all having experienced different difficult times in their lives, and hoping to find some deeper meaning to their existence.  It is a very moving story!  Interestingly, a movie called “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” released in 2012 has a very similar premise; it is based on a book called “These Foolish Things” written by Deborah Moggach’ and published in 2004. To make things more complicated, Moggach seems to have been influenced by Endo’s work earlier published in 1994 so I would love to know the true origins of all three.
