I love namesake the story by Jhumpa Lahiri.Its an amazing book .
I do believe this story speaks of loneliness of all women after their husband’s death .Its nice and the writer writes the story that revolves around Ashima’s life.
She is born to a Bengali family and married to an NRI. She stays abroad in the USA and gives birth to a son and then a daughter .Her husband dies early and her son leads a sedentary life .The daughter gets married .Then she suffers from lonrliless and solitude .
The author inks and portrays the character very beautifully as if she makes a garland with innumerable flowers .The story telling capacity , twinge of emotions and various idiosyscrasies are justified by Jhumpa’s introspective quality and subtlety .Everyone please buy and at leisure read the book .Once you read , don’t speak .You will enjoy .Mainly sorrow, grief , worry, mourning, repentance, contrivance are instilled to make this story a perfect one .
