      abstract = {"Two brothers bound by tragedy. A fiercely brilliant woman  haunted by her past. A country torn by revolution. A love  that lasts long past death. An extraordinary new novel, set  in both India and America, that expands the scope and range  of one of our most dazzling storytellers: the best-selling  author of The Namesake and Unaccustomed Earth. Born just  fifteen months apart, Subhash and Udayan Mitra are  inseparable brothers, one often mistaken for the other in  the Calcutta neighborhood where they grow up. But they are  also opposites, with gravely different futures ahead. It is  the 1960s, and Udayan--charismatic and impulsive--finds  himself drawn to the Naxalite movement, a rebellion waged  to eradicate inequity and poverty; he will give everything,  risk all, for what he believes. Subhash, the dutiful son,  does not share his brother's political passion; he leaves  home to pursue a life of scientific research in a quiet,  coastal corner of America."--Book jacket.},
