It's here. Thank you, debspag. A friend strongly recommended this to me, so I was glad you offered it at BookRelay.comInterestingly, this book looks like someone left it out in the rain, but that is just the cover art.
I gave this book to my mother, and tonight (while at my home hunkering down for a possible hit from Hurricane Rita) she returned it with a post-it note comment: Great read. I recommend it.
I probably will read it next.

Finished it tonight. Wonderful book. Written in a simple, yet evocative style. Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies is now going on my wish list.

They said it would take 4-6 weeks but often it goes faster than that.

Journal Entry 6 by zzz from Rakovica / Раковица, City of Belgrade Serbia on Wednesday, January 11, 2006
Book arrived today but I'm afraid it has been in contact with water, like it was on the rain (don't know is it during the transport or...). Anyway it's nothing too serious, only cover art; of course it is absolutely readable and I cannot wait. I'm thinking to nominate this one in my Book Club :)
gnissorckoob thank you so much for sending it to the other side of the Planet!!!
This is Jhumpa Lahiri!

Me again. Saw the movie last week. Recommended!

My mom, AceofHearts, passed away from breast cancer on September 17, 2013. Aside from being one of the best people I know, she was an avid reader and took immense pleasure in Bookcrossing, her book club, and reading many great books. Unfortunately she didn't get around to reading this book.
I will be releasing this in my mom's memory.
