Everyone has their secrets. In her stunning new collection of stories, JhumpaLahiri gently lifts the veil to reveal how even the most ordinary lives have their dramas and tragedies and then, as gently, lets it fall back down again. A middle-aged man discovers that the death of his wife opens up his world in unexpected ways, his daughter worries that she will now have to look after him but finds that the tables, in fact, have turned; a housewife falls in love with a family friend, her child ascertains her secret years on; a young man and woman whose lives cross over the years, finally and fatedly fall in love. Unaccustomed Earth returns to the terrain - the heart of family life and the immigrant experience - that JhumpaLahiri has made utterly hers, but her themes, this time around, have darkened and deepened. Poised, nuanced, deeply moving, this is a superb book

The incredible bestselling first novel from Pulitzer Prize winning author, JhumpaLahiri. `When her grandmother learned of Ashima`s pregnancy, she was particularly thrilled at the prospect of naming the family`s first sahib. And so Ashima and Ashoke have agreed to put off the decision of what to name the baby until a letter comes!` For now, the label on his hospital cot reads simply `Baby Boy Ganguli`. But as time passes and still no letter arrives from India, American bureaucracy takes over and demands that `baby boy Ganguli` be given a name. In a panic, his father decides to nickname him `Gogol` -- after his favourite writer. Brought up as an Indian in suburban America, Gogol Ganguli soon finds himself itching to cast off his awkward name, just as he longs to leave behind the inherited values of his Bengali parents. And so he sets off on his own path through life, a path strewn with conflicting loyalties, love and loss! Spanning three decades and crossing continents, JhumpaLahiri`s much-anticipated first novel is a triumph of humane story-telling. Elegant, subtle and moving, `The Namesake` is for everyone who loved the clarity, sympathy and grace of Lahiri`s Pulitzer Prize-winning debut story collection, `Interpreter of Maladies
