can someone suggest a novel/s about:
-
being away from home
-
reminiscing over home and family
-
feeling lost in a new environment(city) while exploring it
(preferably: from a damsel's or a journalist's perspective)
I'm learning how to write my own stories but I want a reference since I'll admit that I'm not really good at it but I keep getting better(or at least I hope that I do)

**The Namesake** by Jhumpa Lahiri
It is a story about a young man named Gogol Ganguli, the American-born son of Indian immigrants, as he struggles to find his identity between two different worlds, neither of which fully embrace him. Named after the Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, he grapples with his unusual name, his parents’ Bengali traditions, and the expectations of American society. It beautifully traces his journey from childhood through adulthood, and explores themes of family, belonging, and the meaning of names.
