The Lowland by Jhumpa LahiriMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Spellbinding! In her characteristic scrupulous prose, particularly her lucid description of human emotions as they manifest in immigrant Indian Americans, Jhumpa takes us through the rise of Naxalite movement in West Bengal and how it affects the life of the Mitras through three generations, shuttling between Rhode Island in the US and Tollygunge Kolkata.
Much better than her earlier novel 'Namesake'.
Must read the 'Luminaries' to figure out why Jhumpa failed to win the Man Booker 2013.
