I'd never been one to give up on lost causes, maybe because I was one myself.

I loved this novel, and learned so much about India that I hadn‘t known. Subhash was my favorite character (so glad he got his happy ending!) but Lahiri made me love all of them a bit. Well, maybe I just pitied his mother. So happy to finally get to this one. #doublespin #24in2024

I liked this one a bit more than the first book. The ending was a bit too dramatic for me though.
The writing also felt more like the Cemetery of Forgotten Books in this one. 💕

The Lowland is a masterly novel of fate and will, exile and return. Tragic events connect two brothers. a smart woman who struggles with her history. a nation split by revolution. a relationship that endures after death. Suspenseful, sweeping, piercingly intimate

I really enjoyed this story. I like India and have enjoyed travelling there in the past. This was very evocative.

Nicely written historical police procedural set in India just after WWI. I liked the characters and the setting.
