The Lowland
By Jhumpa Lahiri
| From Subhashââ?¬TMs earliest memories, at every point, his brother was there. In the suburban streets of Calcutta where they wandered before dusk and in the hyacinth-strewn ponds where they played for hours on end, Udayan was always in his older brotherââ?¬TMs sight. So close in age, they were inseparable in childhood and yet, as the years pass ââ?¬â?? as U.S tanks roll into Vietnam and riots sweep across India ââ?¬â?? their brotherly bond can do nothing to forestall the tragedy that will upend their lives. Udayan ââ?¬â?? charismatic and impulsive ââ?¬â?? finds himself drawn to the Naxalite movement, a rebellion waged to eradicate inequity and poverty. He will give everything, risk all, for what he believes, and in doing so will transform the futures of those dearest to him: his newly married, pregnant wife, his brother and their parents. For all of them, the repercussions of his actions will reverberate across continents and seep through the generations that follow. Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portrayal of lives undone and forged anew, The Lowland is a deeply felt novel of family ties that entangle and fray in ways unforeseen and unrevealed, of ties that ineluctably define who we are. With all the hallmarks of Jhumpa Lahiriââ?¬TMs achingly poignant, exquisitely empathetic story-telling, this is her most devastating work of fiction to date. | |
