beautifully written stories as can be expected by lahiri. i found a lot of these stories to be about the same people & topics: ivy league educated, rich, immigrants with family issues. some stories more compelling the others, some still lacking a certain something to allow you to sink your teeth into the story - like a craving you can’t name. overall, a fine read if you like stories & complicated families.
