Jhumpa Lahiri: The Lowland

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 Lahiri's achingly poignant, exquisitely empathetic story-telling, this is her most devastating work of fiction to date.
