This book will forever be special to me, it opened my mind to the kind of stories I never thought were possible to write. Interpreter of Maladies was my first Jhumpa Lahiri book ever, it was assigned reading to me as part of an advanced english course in my first undergraduate semester and I couldn't get enough of it, I think I read the book over and over again until I couldn't savour the deliciousness of the writing anymore. Oh! How I wish I could read it again for the first time. It is also the book I gift the most, because everyone needs to read it :)

My favourite stories are Mrs. Sen's (which was my assigned story!) and A Temporary Matter which is Lahiri at her best.
