Book Summary
The Continents Between is a sweeping, intimate diasporic novel about Sudeep and Kamalika as they raise their children in 1980s America while holding fast to their Bengali roots. A richly textured exploration of identity, belonging, and family, it speaks to adult readers who savor literary fiction, cross-cultural narratives, and stories of immigration. The tone is reflective, hopeful, and quietly affecting.
Translated into English by Debali Mookerjea-Leonard, The Continents Between brings Basu’s expansive vision to a global audience. The narration moves between memory and present, between two continents and two languages, as the couple navigate assimilation, intergenerational differences, and the political currents of the era. The book weaves intimate scenes with broader social context, preserving lyricism and depth in the translation while inviting readers to slow down and observe the delicate negotiations of home and identity. If you love diaspora stories that combine personal detail with social insight, this title offers a resonant, thought-provoking reading experience.
After finishing The Continents Between, readers gain a nuanced understanding of the immigrant experience, a deeper empathy for the bonds that tie continents, and a sense of belonging that transcends borders. It invites you to reconsider what home means and to carry its memories with you as you move through your own world.
