Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2013.
Two brothers bound by tragedy; a fiercely brilliant woman haunted by her past; a country torn by revolution: the most powerful and ambitious novel yet from the Pulitzer Prize-winning, multi-million copy bestselling author of The Namesake and Unaccustomed Earth.

The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A wonderfully constructed examination of a family’s life over three generations and the complexity of Bangladesh culture meeting USA. Very enjoyable for the most part and some beautifully poetic imaging. Great writing. I think it fell away at the end sadly and I would have preferred to finished with the lives of the living with more depth to be explored in the older ages. Great development of relationships and tremendous understanding of human behaviour and thinking.
