'The Namesake' by: Jhumpa Lahiri

Beautiful book. So gentle and calming. The language Lahiri uses feels unforced yet powerful with meaning, sense of place and color. It affects you unknowingly.
The authors own voice came across clearly and one knew that this was something she felt very strongly about. The contrast of the two cultures Indian and American was the main point of the story.
