Cozy Calcutta: The Namesake
Last night our book club finally met at supreme hostess Brandy’s house – well, kind of, she was house sitting but anyhow Brandy had set the mood for our discussion of our book The Namesake by Jlumpi Lahiri. Sunflowers (straight from a page in the book), lots of candles and Indian delacacies set the mood, oh and lots of great wine. It was unanimous that we all really enjoyed this book and we discussed the cultural struggle of a family and in particular one boy with life in the United States versus India. Very interesting and highly recommended! Our book club meets again in 6 weeks and our next novel is The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls a true story sure to rivet us!
