The entire book is excellent, but I particularly enjoyed "Unaccustomed Earth", "Hell-Heaven", and the Hema & Kaushik series of stories at the end.

This book was gorgeous, so gorgeous I could only read bits of it at a time. It was also incredibly depressing. I loved part two of the book, which was a novella of sorts about two people who know each other from childhood. I wanted it to end differently than it did, but I knew where it was going. I would definitely recommend it.

This is another wonderful collection of short stories from Ms. Lahiri, though I may still slightly prefer Interpreter of Maladies overall. In any case, this is one I'd definitely recommend reading.
