marleneayumi 's review for:
Interpreter of Maladies
by Jhumpa Lahiri
3.5?4? This book was lovingly gifted to me by my Lottie! The first two short stories of the collective were very strikingly written, incredibly moving and unusual in a way I cannot quite put my finger on (i cried on a plane to Dubrovnik reading the first one and then again, on a beach in a Dubrovnik reading the second). Quite a few of the other short stories weren’t to my liking so I think it was hard to feel conclusive about the compilation as a whole. Having said that, there were definitely a number of them that I really enjoyed. Lahiri is particularly gifted at crafting/breathing life into characters and their narratives, but perhaps the plots sometimes left me confused or wanting more?
