I loved the passive tone and writing style and felt so drawn to the melancholy longing of the stories. It felt like I was traveling in Europe (enjoying food and the scenery), while also sensing the loss of so many different parts of our lives.

Jhumpa Lahiri has done it again, beautiful writing. Not usually a fan of of short stories but each one of these pulled me in, simple but moving - favourite was “Dante Alighieri”.
