Lahiri is excellent at relating the immigrant experience as it relates to her heritage as shown in the various stories in this collection.

Wow! What a powerful and impactful group of short stories. Lahiri writes with a sense of place and longing that jumps off the page. Some of theses stories are so surprising, they nearly take your breath away. So good!
