Description
In 1984, four Japanese tourists travel through India and find themselves drawn to the Ganges River, seeking something they can’t name—comfort, meaning, and a way to live with their own doubts. As their paths intersect with people of different faiths, including Missionaries of Charity, each character confronts loneliness, suffering, and the limits of belief, whether they arrive as skeptics, seekers, or the quietly broken. Through a richly observed, spiritually attentive journey, the novel explores how Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and everyday compassion can coexist in the same human heart. With Shusaku Endo’s signature blend of moral inquiry and intimate storytelling, *Deep River* asks what it truly means to be forgiven, to serve, and to recognize the divine in the midst of ordinary life.
