Meer over het boek
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, best-selling author comes an extraordinary novel set in India and America, weaving a tale of two brothers bound by tragedy, a brilliant woman haunted by her past, a country in revolution, and enduring love. Subhash and Udayan Mitra, born just fifteen months apart, are inseparable yet opposites, each destined for different futures. In the 1960s, Udayan, charismatic and impulsive, becomes involved in the Naxalite movement, risking everything for his beliefs. In contrast, Subhash, the dutiful son, leaves for America to pursue a life in scientific research, uninterested in his brother’s political fervor. However, when Subhash learns of Udayan's fate in their family's homeland, he returns to India to mend the fractures left behind, including those affecting Udayan's wife. This masterfully suspenseful and intimate narrative explores complex emotions and spans generations and geographies with seamless authenticity. It is a profound family saga that showcases the author at the height of her powers, blending beauty and depth in a story that resonates with history and personal loss.
