Description:
Brothers Subhash and Udayan are inseparable as children. But their bond proves to be no match for the social tensions of the sixties. The charismatic Udayan falls under the spell of a group of radical communists. He risks everything: his own life and that of his brother, his parents and even his young bride. In the hope of leaving the dramatic events behind him, Subhash leaves for America, but the backlash of his actions reverberates for generations to come. Two Brothers is a sensitive, layered novel about the family ties that determine who we are, whether we like it or not. Jhumpa Lahiri has woven her familiar migration theme unparalleled into a painfully beautiful story that you will not soon let go of after reading it.
