[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. It’s the only book I can read multiple times. [/quote] Loved this book.[/quote] I liked it a lot too. [/quote] NP. I thought it was just ok. Certainly not nearly as good as her first book, The Interpreter of Maladies. That one I thought was excellent. [/quote] I think I have read the other one too, will look it up. For me, The Namesake and Americanah, did a great job capturing the immigrant experience. In the Namesake, it was more about the sense of not fully belonging, despite being born and raised in the country of residence. While Americanah resonated with me (I have also immigrated at the age of 18 and lived in all the areas she's lived in), I think The Namesake is closer to my kids' experience. [/quote]
