This is a collection of short stories set somewhere between India and the US. Jhumpa Lahiri is a skillful writer, who invites us into the lives of several people. (I am hesitant to call them characters, since they are painted in such a realistic manner, that you cannot help but wonder, whether they actually exist.) The author describes in measured tones, in what feels like a slightly distanced style, but always with a lot of empathy the glimpses of the protagonists' lives we are allowed to see.

RELEASE NOTES:

Beim Lesen hab ich gemerkt, dass ich ja dieses Buch schon mal unter Finger und Augen hatte. Schon damals und jetzt wieder packte mich Lahiri's Schreibweise, wie sie es versteht, Schicksale von indischen Menschen im Ausland mit viel Gschpüri und auch präzis beobachteten Details leise und berührend darustellen.
