Journal Entry 1 by mathgirl40 from Waterloo, Ontario Canada on Thursday, January 6, 2011
From the back cover:
"Meet the Gangli family, new arrivals from Calcutta, trying their best to become Americans even as they pine for home. The name they bestow on their firstborn, Gogol, betrays all the conflicts of honoring tradition in a new world -- conflicts that will haunt Gogol on his own winding path through divided loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs.
In The Namesake, the Pulitzer Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri brilliantly illuminates the immigrant experience and the tangled ties between generations."

I enjoyed this story very much. Reserved for ApoloniaX's South Asian VBB.
