Book One

Unaccustomed Earth, by Jhumpa Lahiri (melancholy Bengali)

short stories, mostly focused on the children of immigrants and their grown up lives, complicated marriages, tea colored children, parental estrangement, and occasional natural disaster. okay, so I've read it already, but in a frenzy, and now I want to take a closer look. XTina -- will you post your thoughts on the first story? did it make you lonely? why Ruma so sad?

more after you've read it....
