Description
“Jhumpa Lahiri had been recommended to me by several people over the last couple of years, and now I’ve finally got around to reading her I know why – she’s a great writer! She examines what it is like to be of Indian descent in modern America but it’s her wonderful writing that really draws you in.” Bob
Beginning in America, and spilling back over memories and generations to India, Unaccustomed Earth explores the heart of family life and the immigrant experience. Eight luminous stories – longer and richer than any Jhumpa Lahiri has yet written – take us from America to Europe, India and Thailand as they follow new lives forged in the wake of loss.
