By Jhumpa Lahiri...Had heard some different opinions about this book. It is a collection of short stories...and I had thoroughly enjoyed THE NAMESAKE by the same author...so I got the audio version and I have been listening to it for the past month! I especially liked the first story about a woman who is living in Seattle with her husband and young son, with a baby on the way, and her aging father comes to visit...
Most of the stories involve 1st and 2nd generation Indian immigrants...the relationships with their families, their spouses, their siblings, and their parents. My fascination with other cultures, family lives, and places kept me listening to this book to its end. I would recommend this book to someone who may not like reading a WHOLE book...these stories are shorter or longer...you can pick what you like.

I really enjoyed this book. Though for many of the stories I wanted more more more. She really did a great job of building interesting stories and characters. Beautiful
