A review by dina_honour
The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri

5.0

Beautiful prose, from beginning to end. I wavered between 4 and 5 stars, but in the end, I decided her ability to take the mundane and make it beautiful was well worth the accolades this book received. Ultimately a simple story of family; the blood and traditions and bonds that connect you forever, regardless of geography, culture, skin color or even death itself.
