具体描述
Two brothers bound by tragedy; a fiercely brilliant woman haunted by her past; a country torn by revolution: the Pulitzer Prize winner and #1 New York Times best-selling author gives us a powerful new novel--set in both India and America--that explores the price of idealism and a love that can last long past death.
Growing up in Calcutta, born just fifteen months apart, Subhash and Udayan Mitra are inseparable brothers, one often mistaken for the other. But they are also opposites, with gravely different futures ahead of them. It is the 1960s, and Udayan--charismatic and impulsive--finds himself drawn to the Naxalite movement, a rebellion waged to eradicate inequity and poverty: he will give everything, risk all, for what he believes. Subhash, the dutiful son, does not share his brother's political passion; he leaves home to pursue a life of scientific research in a quiet, coastal corner of America. But when Subhash learns what happened to his brother in the lowland outside their family's home, he comes back to India, hoping to pick up the pieces of a shattered family, and to heal the wounds Udayan left behind--including those seared in the heart of his brother's wife.
Suspenseful, sweeping, piercingly intimate, The Lowland expands the range of one of our most dazzling storytellers, seamlessly interweaving the historical and the personal across generations and geographies. This masterly novel of fate and will, exile and return, is a tour de force and an instant classic.

Without a doubt Jhumpa Lahiri is one of my all-time favorite writers. There is something about her story telling that is totally addicting, constantly compelling me to yearn for more. Her craft—infused with precise dictions, clever sentences, elegant expos...
评分作者在遣词造句间没有使用华丽的辞藻和句式，因此全书气氛显得有些平淡。然而，这贯穿始终的平淡中却无时无刻不渗透着一种看似希望实为绝望的感觉。Udayan的死给所有人都带来的了痛苦，但作为读者的我，可以理解Gauri的绝望却不能理解她的抛弃与别离。而Subhash对Gauri产生的所...

依然是在倒时差的几夜里读完，总算完成一烂尾楼。 没想到这本书里的故事人物不多，跨度却长。文笔平和，平滑，深厚，悠长，舒展自如，平静之处藏波澜。
评分Remember that the revolution is the important thing and that each one of us alone is worth nothing.
评分It's an emotional journey reading the story in 50s and 60s Calcutta where Naxalite movement takes place. People's decisions are affected and lead to different paths and consequences.The story has a slow build yet the plot really gets me after a while. Jhumpa Lahiri remains the most graceful writer I've ever read, a true master of language.
评分书拿到后看了几个词来打分，待读。
