The Namesake
Choose variant
The Namesake takes the Ganguli family from their tradition-bound life in Calcutta through their fraught transformation into Americans. On the heels of their arranged wedding, Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli settle together in Cambridge, Massachusetts. An engineer by training, Ashoke adapts far less warily than his wife, who resists all things American and pines for her family. When their son is born, the task of naming him betrays the vexed results of bringing old ways to the new world. Named for a Russian writer by his Indian parents in memory of a catastrophe years before, Gogol Ganguli knows only that he suffers the burden of his heritage as well as his odd, antic name.
Lahiri brings great empathy to Gogol as he stumbles along the first-generation path, strewn with conflicting loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs. With penetrating insight, she reveals not only the defining power of the names and expectations bestowed upon us by our parents, but also the means by which we slowly, sometimes painfully, come to define ourselves.

I ordered a birthday gift for my dad. Everything was so well decorated, and just as I saw on the pictures, my dad loved it a lot. The quality of the products is also very good and the team wae very responsive. To be able to pick out every single thing through their app is an amazing feature. I'm definitely ordering again for my mom and friends.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had been searching for a way to send a thoughtful gift to the UK without hassle, and Sugary made it possible. From the very beginning, their team was supportive and responsive. The entire process—from choosing the right package to ensuring it reached on time—was smooth and stress-free. A special thanks to Parisa for her guidance and kind cooperation throughout. She made the experience truly personal and enjoyable. I’m very happy with the service and would highly recommend Sugary to anyone looking to send gifts abroad with care and professionalism.
