The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri

5.0

Tender and deeply human! I came to Lahiri's work via her short stories. This story, of a boy whose parents move from Calcutta to Boston is a story inherently about belonging.

Belonging portrayed in how we love, how we try to be loved by others and remember well. Highly recommend if you're looking for a grounded human story.
