What Members Thought
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.

It was a nice slice of a life and culture different from my own.
