But he’s harboring a secret from his daughter, a love affair he’s keeping all to himself. In “A Choice of Accommodations,” a husband’s attempt to turn an old friend’s wedding into a romantic getaway weekend with his wife takes a dark, revealing turn as the party lasts deep into the night. In “Only Goodness,” a sister eager to give her younger brother the perfect childhood she never had is overwhelmed by guilt, anguish, and anger when his alcoholism threatens her family. And in “Hema and Kaushik,” a trio of linked stories—a luminous, intensely compelling elegy of life, death, love, and fate—we follow the lives of a girl and boy who, one winter, share a house in Massachusetts. They travel from innocence to experience on separate, sometimes painful paths, until destiny brings them together again years later in Rome.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnaccustomed Earth is rich with Jhumpa Lahiri’s signature gifts: exquisite prose, emotional wisdom, and subtle renderings of the most intricate workings of the heart and mind.

Her stories are one of the very few debut works -- and only a handful of collections -- to have won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Among the many other awards and honors it received were the New Yorker Debut of the Year award, the PEN\/Hemingway Award, and the highest critical praise for its grace, acuity, and compassion in detailing lives transported from India to America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Namesake\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Lahiri enriches the themes that made her collection an international bestseller: the immigrant experience, the clash of cultures, the conflicts of assimilation, and, most poignantly, the tangled ties between generations.

On the heels of their arranged wedding, Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli settle together in Cambridge, Massachusetts. An engineer by training, Ashoke adapts far less warily than his wife, who resists all things American and pines for her family. When their son is born, the task of naming him betrays the vexed results of bringing old ways to the new world. Named for a Russian writer by his Indian parents in memory of a catastrophe years before, Gogol Ganguli knows only that he suffers the burden of his heritage as well as his odd, antic name.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLahiri brings great empathy to Gogol as he stumbles along the first-generation path, strewn with conflicting loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs. With penetrating insight, she reveals not only the defining power of the names and expectations bestowed upon us by our parents, but also the means by which we slowly, sometimes painfully, come to define ourselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Jhumpa Lahiri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43335700545718,"sku":"","price":750.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1794\/2710\/files\/33917.jpg?v=1720677775"},{"product_id":"the-lowland","title":"The Lowland","description":"\u003ch5\u003e(NOTE: The Book cover may vary if published by different companies.)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAuthor:  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/jhumpa-lahiri\"\u003eJhumpa Lahiri\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBinding: SOFTBACK\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCategory:  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/fiction\"\u003eFICTION\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePublisher: LOCAL\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePages: 334\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the book:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEpic in its canvas and intimate in its portrayal of lives undone and forged anew, The Lowland is a deeply felt novel of family ties that entangle and fray in ways unforeseen and unrevealed, of ties that ineluctably define who we are\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom Subhash's earliest memories, at every point, his brother was there.

So close in age, they were inseparable in childhood and yet, as the years pass - as U.S tanks roll into Vietnam and riots sweep across India - their brotherly bond can do nothing to forestall the tragedy that will upend their lives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUdayan - charismatic and impulsive - finds himself drawn to the Naxalite movement, a rebellion waged to eradicate inequity and poverty.

For all of them, the repercussions of his actions will reverberate across continents and seep through the generations that follow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Jhumpa Lahiri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44967851229366,"sku":null,"price":845.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1794\/2710\/files\/17262100.jpg?v=1773276981"}],"url":"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/jhumpa-lahiri-1.oembed","provider":"Booksvilla.pk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
