From your Pulitzer Prize-winning, best-selling author of The Namesake comes an extraordinary new novel, set in both India and America, that expands the opportunity and selection of one of your most dazzling storytellers: a tale of two brothers bound by tragedy, a fiercely excellent woman haunted by her former, a country torn by revolution, and a love that lasts long past loss of life. Given birth to just 15 a few months apart, Subhash and Udayan Mitra are inseparable brothers, one often mistaken for the other in the Calcutta neighborhood where they increase up. However they are also opposites, with gravely different futures ahead. It is the 1960s, and Udayan - charismatic and impulsive - finds himself drawn to the Naxalite movements, a rebellion waged to eradicate inequity and poverty; he will give everything, risk all, for what he thinks. Subhash, the dutiful son, does not promote his brother's political enthusiasm; he leaves home to follow a life of technological research in a calm, coastal area of America. However when Subhash discovers what happened to his brother in the lowland outside their family's home, he goes back to India, hoping to pick up the bits of a shattered family, and also to heal the wounds Udayan left out - including those seared in the center of his brother's better half. Masterly suspenseful, sweeping, piercingly intimate, The Lowland is a work of great beauty and intricate feelings; an engrossing family saga and a story steeped in history that spans decades and geographies with seamless authenticity. It is Jhumpa Lahiri at the level of her extensive powers. Long-listed for the 2013 Man Booker Reward
