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.

评分 评分2000年,年仅33岁的印裔美国作家裘帕·拉希莉凭借《解说疾病的人》摘下了在美国极具分量的普利策文学奖,并成为该奖史上最年轻的获奖者。 这位年轻却在写作上“成熟的不可思议”的作家从此开始被世界文坛所认识。 2019年8月,可以文化推出裘帕·拉希莉长篇小说《低地》,这也是...
不愧是普利策奖获得者,温婉又绵长的叙述了一对兄弟和一个女孩之间的故事,以前的历史课常常觉得数字和地名的罗列真是乏味,但是如果听说过其间的具体的爱恨情仇,往往就显得越发震撼和真切了。
评分proficient within limited talent.
评分虽然有点学院派的匠气,到底是认真的,开头和结尾有些段落写到人心里去,又没有刻意冷静什么的煽动读者情绪。
评分太沉重了,太感动了,太喜欢了…
评分书拿到后看了几个词来打分,待读。
