Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri
4.0
I love the first story "Unaccustomed Earth" for its slow motion storytelling. It tells you the love that lives and grows in the family. The father who doesn't seem to care much, the daughter who awkwardly concerning on her dad, the beloved mother that has already gone.
However, it got slower & slower towards the later titles keeping me impatiently reading as I can already guess the ending of every short story. The titles are related somehow making it feels like there's so many repetitions of "facts" though we have so many short stories to read.
Somehow, it was a pleasant read during the first half of the pages. I love the idea of interracial society, the beautiful words written and arranged flawlessly by Lahiri.
