The impact of their separate decisions extends far into the future. We follow them as each copes with the consequences of the tragedy that befalls the family. Lahiri grips the reader immediately with her strong character studies of the two brothers: Subhash, older and quieter, and Udayan, forever seeking his parents’ approbation and testing their boundaries. It is also a piece of extraordinary storytelling, with a compelling narrative and a powerful and emotional ending. It is a tale of two countries of families and their secrets, of tradition and change. The Lowland is the story of two brothers and one woman, and a tragedy that reverberates down four generations. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Interpreter of Maladies delivers a compelling family story of secrets, love and duty.
