Most of the stories have sad endings - just exactly what I'm looking for! The sentences were flowing beautifully and I love how Jhumpa Lahiri described the longing feeling of home. Where is home, exactly? A place where all things familiar are there? How does it feel to be born in a country where nothing made sense for your ancestors? This book is full with questions, but gladly, the writer didn't try too hard to answer them.

I don't usually read short story collections; however, this was recommended to me, so I decided to give it a chance. I am glad that I did. I would definitely recommend this collection; I really enjoyed each and every story. Lahiri is a great writer.
