Indira Varma reads Jhumpa Lahiri's Man Booker-listed new novel, The Lowland, spanning India and America, and exploring the price of idealism and the enduring power of love.
It is the 1960s, and revolution has come to India and America. Two brothers, Subhash and Udayan, have been inseparable since birth, but their paths are diverging. Udayan - charismatic and impulsive - finds himself drawn to the Communist movement sweeping Bengal. He will risk all for what he believes. But Subhash, the dutiful son, leaves for a quiet life of study in America. But when Subhash learns what happened to his brother in the lowland outside their family's home, he returns to India, hoping to heal the wounds Udayan left behind.
Today: Gauri is forced to confront her past after an unexpected letter from Subhash.
