I liked Lowlands better. I get it is about identity, but although I am an emigrant and so was my mother, I did not identify that much. Maybe it was too much about Indian emigrants specifically. I understood the Gogol name identity crisis but it just went on for so long… it was an ok book, but for me not amazing. Some parts were just too slow.
