The Namesake
Jhumpa Lahiri
Jacket design: Michaela Sullivan
Cover illustration: Philippe Lardy
Houghton Mifflin

Sometimes, you know, you need only create something quiet and elegant, and that’s all the cover needs. In a world where nearly every cover screams, the ones that whisper can be noticed and appreciated for their simple beauty.

Judgment: Yes.
