The Lowland is the family saga of two brothers, close in age but poles apart. The brothers are bound by tragedy alongside a woman haunted by her past and a country torn by revolution. It traverses the journey from mid-twentieth century India to contemporary America that has been a consistent feature of Lahiri's fiction. It showcases that despite the distance, the worlds of both the countries are linked by those who have lived, loved, and suffered in both. A powerful novel that explores the price of idealism and love that can last long past death. This book interconnects the history and the people across generations and geographies. Published in 2013, The Lowland was a nominee for the Man Booker Prize.
