It is Udayan’s overindulging disposition, that makes him rebel first against his parents, against established Indian customs that allows for ones parents to pick their spouse, and then eventually against the unfaithful Indian political system, by joining a misguided political organization given to violence. Two sides of a coin, Subhash mellow and intuitive, Udayan brash and messianic, they find themselves at each turn complimenting each other. Separated by merely fifteen months, Subhash and Udayan almost like identical twins, find themselves bound by love so much so their lives are entwined, to the point of dependency. Jhumpa Lahiri brings for the duration of this read, our lives to a standstill, a worthy disruption, and we are unable to loosen the grip on this astonishing tale of an Indian family, whose lives were disrupted during the Naxalbari uprising in Bengal, India.
