BOOK SUMMARY

The story primarily revolves around Gogol Ganguli, the son of Bengali immigrants who move to the United States in the 1960s.

His parents, Ashoke and Ashima, both originally from Calcutta, are faced with the challenges of raising their child in a new culture while holding on to their Bengali traditions
