Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVED this book of short stories. I read several reviews that Interpreter of Maladies was better, but I didn't feel this was the case. I thought this was even better; very beautifully written!Book Review: Excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a lovely collection of short stories that stays with you long after you've read the last page. This is Lahiri's best by far...same simple yet searing language, but the observations are so true they take the wind out of you.Book Review: Wonderful characters
Summary: 5 Stars
By the second paragraph you are interested in the characters and what will happen. A talented writer. An enjoyable read. She has become one of my favorite authors and I anxiously await her next book.Book Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
Unaccustomed Earth is a beautiful follow up to Interpreter of Maladies, which I had read and loved. Here, Jhumpa Lahiri returns to similar subject matter, the everyday lives of Bengali immigrants. Her characters remain, as ever, complex, well wrought creations that you feel you know intimately. I loved every story in this collection especially the long one at the end, which is more like a short novel. Lahiri's beautiful writing, her great story-telling ability, and deep sense of human sympathy make her works a pleasure to read. I could easily return to Unaccustomed Earth and read it again and probably with as much enjoyment as I did the first time.
