This is a beautiful collection of short stories. I want more from each of them, but none feels incomplete.

Crying. Stories with small, unspoken devastations. Lives and worlds split open, or slowly and quietly pulled apart. Beauty and love and life and joy. I’m grateful for these worlds Lahiri created.
