This is the book recently I have read.
The writer is Jhumpha Lahiri. There is a movie made based on the novel with the same name.
I liked the book. The writer is very descriptive in writing. She creates entire picture with minute details of the things, you actually get the feel like seeing the entire scene.
One more admirable thing is flow of story & interesting transition of story narration from one character to another. The story is carefully woven & flows from one character to another smoothly & eventually return to the GOGOL.
The story catches the life of Bengali couple moved from their native place to US & raising their children amongst the different lifestyle. On the birth of their son, they faced dilemma of naming him as the letter containing the name of son (from Grand Mother) not reached to US. The first name occurred to his father become his name i.e. GOGOL, later to be changed with some good name. However name remains. The boy grows up & frustrated with his awkward name go for changing name. His life journey of adulthood, love affairs, marriage, divorce etc is narrated further.
The book is delight to read for its fine descriptions, narrations & unusual turns of events,
