Jhumpa Lahiri (Get this book)A tale of two continents in an era of political tumult, rendered with devastating depth and clarity by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author. The narrative proceeds from the simplicity of a fairy tale into a complex novel of moral ambiguity and aftershocks, with revelations that continue through decades and generations until the very last page. It is the story of two brothers in India who are exceptionally close to each other and yet completely different. Though Lahiri has previously earned greater renown for her short stories, this masterful novel deserves to attract an even wider readership.--Kirkus
