This is not just a book, it is the embodiment of lives with intense emotions. The pain of leaving your homeland and live the entire life in a foreign land is very well portrayed. Dialogues like 'After 20 years of living here, I still don't consider it as my home' are just paying tribute and love for your homeland. The respect for each other between Ashima And Ashoke are just beautiful. The story is not fully Indian or American. 'What's there in a name'. Sometimes everything is in the name'. It can tell the right of parents over their children. A beautiful read which is deeply engrossing and seldom put down-able!
Some thoughts and reviews of the books which gave me sheer enjoyment while reading and made me crave for more in their resonance of words, in their puns and epigrams and in the beauty of their meaning!
