iidaelviira 's review for:
Unaccustomed Earth
by Jhumpa Lahiri
If you're after happy endings, or just happy stories in general, read something else. But if you’re after a bunch of short, brutally realistic stories of the life of Indian immigrants in America, read this book. It's beautifully written and explores many different themes convincingly. However, I found it somewhat excruciating having to witness so many likeable characters have their life go wrong. The book is hooking but it's cruel how many times you have to "start over" with new characters and a new storyline, for the stories are pretty short. Overall, I enjoyed it but I'm more into novels.
