These are the main characters of the novel:Īshoke- The Indian Bengali immigrant and Gogol’s fatherĪshima- The typical Indian housewife, and Gogol’s mother The language of the book is also not that hard. I recommend this book to people who are no-nonsense readers. On the other hand, Gogol’s wife committed infidelity. Like Gogol’s mother, who remained loyal to her husband throughout her life.
The story also portrays the concepts of fidelity and infidelity in marriage. The Namesake, Jhumpa Lahiri’s First Novel. And Gogol’s own quandary regarding his name and identity. Like about the protagonist’s father and his early years in the United States of America, or about the struggle of an Indian housewife to accept her new life in a different nation. But the story also revolves around several people and their lives. Though the novel’s protagonist is Gogol, who was named after the Russian author Nikolai Gogol by his father. The Namesake is the tale of a Bengali immigrant family from India and their life far away in America. I’ve also read and written about that book, and you can also read my review of it here: Interpreter Of Maladies Book Review.
The author of the novel also wrote another book with the title “Interpreter of Maladies,” for which she received the Pulitzer Prize in 2000. Be it the newly wed Indian Bengali immigrant couple in America, their own relationship, parenthood, and the lives of their foreign-born children. Jhumpa Lahiri, in her novel, The Namesake, portrays the lives of several people within a single story.
