A pretty easy and quick read! A nice delve into humanity, and how culture, nationality, and ethnicity affects everyday life.

Jhumpa Lahiri has a beautiful way of writing people. They feel real. Even when I dislike the character, I enjoy seeing whatever journey they go on.
My favorite stories are When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine, A Real Durwan, Mrs. Sen’s, and The Third and Final Continent.
