4.0

This is the second short story collection I’ve read from Jhumpa Lahiri & I feel just as impressed by this one as I did the other. Lahiri makes characters that feel so incredibly real, and rich. In just short stints with these characters we grow to know and love them, as well as grieve alongside them. Some stories made more of an impact on me than others, which is to be expected with any short story collection & not commentary on the quality of the book as a whole.

I would recommend Lahiri to anyone!
