Nominated By : Margaret van Wyngaarden

fiction

An engrossing family saga steeped in history: the story of two very different brothers bound by tragedy, a fiercely brilliant woman haunted by her past, a country torn apart by revolution, and a love that endures long past death.
Moving from the 1960s to the present, and from India to America and across generations.

The book is an intimate story that offers no easy answers and the past's pull on us all. It contains a vital and interesting historical backdrop.

Lahiri is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize
