Subhash, the dutiful son, has left home to pursue scientific research in a quiet city on the coast of America, but returns to his homeland to pull together the shattered family that Udayan left behind. It is the 1960s, and Udayan-charismatic and impulsive-is drawn to the Naxalite movement, sacrificing everything to rebel against inequity and poverty. Born just 15 months apart in Calcutta, brothers Subhash and Udayan Mitra are inseparable, but they are also opposites, with gravely different futures ahead. (Shortlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize and the National Book Award) This stunning second novel from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Interpreter of Maladies, The Namesake, and Unaccustomed Earth is set in both India and America.
