Unfortunately I didn't realize it was a story and was bereft at not being able to find out what happened next. I usually completely avoid short stories for this reason. But the writing in this book is so incisive and the author's analysis of human relationships so insightful that I continued reading, and I'm glad I did. What a wonderful writer Jhumpa Lahiri is. Loved The Namesake as well. When I read the first story in this book I was totally hooked.

It has quickly become one of my all time favorites. It's amazing how Lahiri can write so naturally and simplistically and yet convey so much. I don't know which review you read but I've come across an interivew of her online, and I just wonder how much the interviewer had read her work! Just finished this book and written a post on it.

I rarely buy books new (especially in hardcover), but I might have to make an exception for this book.
