The Namesake

by Jhumpa Lahiri

A quiet, moving novel about a Bengali family that settles in America, and a son who grows up uneasy with the unusual name his parents gave him. The story covers three decades and moves between continents. It looks closely at belonging, family ties and finding your own place between two cultures. This is Jhumpa Lahiri's first novel, and grown-up readers will find it tender and easy to relate to.
