Not rating since I didn't finish, but got in 20% and the book just wasn't grabbing me, so I'm moving on.

When I first read this at 18 I fell in love, and I come back to it every few years. I don't try to read it too frequently but each time I do reread, I fall in love with different parts. Love Lahiri's writing style.

I was reading this book because we were going to show the movie at work as part of Asian American/Pacific Islander Heritage Month. It is really wonderful, not only as a story about Indian immigrants in America, but how different generations fail to understand each other. Very sweet, and very moving.
