Gogol Ganguli, the child of immigrant parents from India, struggles with feelings of alienation. He is not really Indian, nor is he completely American. The plot kind of meanders, and the novel reads more like a collection of short stories than a cohesive novel. However, the characters are compelling and the language is absolutely perfect. If you enjoy a book that lets you revel in beautiful, expressive writing, The Namesake is sure to please.
