It is an intriguing novel. It follows the fortunes of four generations of a family in Calcutta and Rhode Island across 60 years. It is the tale about the relationship between two brothers. A good book...
I had recently read this book and found it suspenseful and intimately written. It is well written and spans across generations and geographies. It is an instant classic. It is a tale with many twists.
I did not find The Lowland interesting. It was a bit slow paced and boring in the middle. If you are a Jhumpa Lahri fan, then this might interest you otherwise there is nothing much in the book. As for suspense part, there is some suspense which comes out at the end.
