• An good look into the differences between a 1st and 2nd generation Indian family. Overall interesting, but the writing leaves you in an emotional void through chapters

  The Namesake

  A beautifully written multi-generational tale of new beginnings, cultural traditions, fate, and chance.

  The main character became incredibly annoying halfway through the book. Beautifully written though.
