The Lowland is an engrossing family saga steeped in history: the story of two very different brothers bound by tragedy, a fiercely brilliant woman haunted by her past, a country torn apart by revolution, and a love that endures long past death. Moving from the 1960s to the present, and from India to America and across generations, this dazzling novel is Jhumpa Lahiri at the height of her considerable powers.

“It won’t be out until September, but I’m dying to read The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri. Interpreter of Maladies completely changed my life. I read all her books the week they come out and wait impatiently for the next. My character Mindy Lahiri on The Mindy Project was named after her.”↗
