jdybs 's review for:

Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
5.0

These short stories are amazingly beautifully written. The author has a gift for developing characters with great depth and humanity. She writes about ordinary people, poor people and sick people, with such compassion, respect, and grace. Although the stories are often about loneliness and sorrow, they are also very real and relatable. The final story ends the volume on a quietly happier note.
