Author: Jhumpa Lahiri
Jhumpa Lahiri tells the tale of two brothers, Subhash and Udayan who grow up in Tollygunge, Calcutta in a middle-class family during the second half of the twentieth century. She provides a overview of the historical events that were centered around West Bengal in the late sixties and early seventies.
The book moves really fast and there is constantly a new turn of events that will make it hard for you to put down the novel once you start reading it. I found it hard to identify with any of the characters as they seemed rather aloof. Overall this is another book that will surely be picked up by a lot of Jhumpa Lahiri fans. However, I found the story rather unsatisfying and hesitate to recommend this.
