The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri -- I happened to pick up this book when I was in Chennai last weekend and finished it yesterday. Quite an interesting book, I should say.
Talk about identity, allegiance, and what the little things mean...they are all a part of this book... well, it isn't a complicated story -- a simple story about a family. However, there are touching moments, moments of realization, moments of fear....everything you'd find in real life.
I really have no idea why I picked that book - when I bought it, I didn't know the story, the outline, that it was made into a movie, that the author also wrote 'Interpreter of Maladies.'
