If you haven't read any of Jhumpa Lahiri's books, I highly recommend that you get on your local library's website and reserve them all. They are so engrossing and you learn so much about Indian culture by reading her books. She is a Pulitzer Prize winner of fiction for "The Interpreter of Maladies" a work of short stories like "Unaccustomed Earth."
Even though this book was filled with short stories there are three that have the same characters so it's more like a mini-novella. Each one is engaging and I wish she could write a book about each. She manages to develop the characters in each short story in a short time-frame while taking you on a mini-journey. I loved it.
I must admit I've been reading and listening to some great books so far in 2010. I have yet to be disappointed by one yet.
