From the back of the book:
'Jhumpa Lahiri's elegant stories tell the lives of Indians in exile, of people navigating between the strict traditions they've inherited and the baffling New World they must encounter every day. Whether set in Boston or Bengal, these sublimely understated stories, spiced with humour and subtle detail, speak with eloquence to anyone who has ever felt the yearnings of exile or the emotional confusion of the outsider.'
Says it all really! :) 'Tis a wickedy-wicked book...

Finally got this book kindly sent by pocketaphobic, it spent an entertaining time touring the postal districts of Belfast before reaching me.

I have to say that I really enjoyed the stories much more than I thought I would. I liked the easy tempo. A very enjoyable thought provoking read!

As requested this book is winging its way to allbookedup in Vienna.

Thank you, Lijay! I look forward to reading this book, it sounds really interesting!

Got this from allbookedup. Thank you!!
