Jhumpa Lahiri

Een Bengaalse familie blijft tot in de derde generatie lijden onder de gewelddadige dood van de revolutionair ingestelde jongste zoon.

The lowland

Maybe I did not enjoy this as much as I did "The Namesake" but I really, really appreciate Lahiri's ability to tell the story of a life (or many lives) and of a country.

read this in big gulps. beautifully written & very heavy with grief - i felt it change my mental state as i read it so intensely. beautiful & terribly sad.
