Summary: THE NAMESAKE follows two generations of the Ganguli family. After wedding via an arranged marriage, Ashima moves with Ashoke from her native Calcutta to New York. As Ashima struggles to adjust to life in her new home, a true love grows between the newlyweds. When they give birth to Gogol, the Gangolis decide to stay in American for their child’s sake, settling in the suburbs and eventually giving birth to a daughter, Sonia.
