"The Lowland" by Jhumpa Lahiri

The novel, set in both India and America, depicts the story about two brothers who suffered from tragedy, a woman and her haunting past and a revolution tearing the country apart.

Two inseparable but opposite brothers separate paths as one follows his passion for politics and one chooses a quiet life of pursuing science. The story also explores love, with all its different kinds, which goes beyond death and last a long time.

"Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates

"This is your country, this is your world, this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it." This line from the book summarizes what it's all about. From big questions in history to recent issues in the country, the book covers it all.

The story is all about a father who wants to answer all these questions for his son. Through his experiences in studying to witnessing battles in the Civil War, the father tries to narrate and relive history in a different perspective.
