This collection offers a glimpse into the lived experiences of Bengali immigrants in the US while also covering a wide variety of other themes. 

I found the stories consistantly interesting, reflective, and at times moving. There's also a certain straightforwardness to the author's writing style that I like.

Jhumpa Lahiri has a beautiful way of writing people. They feel real. Even when I dislike the character, I enjoy seeing whatever journey they go on. 

My favorite stories are When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine, A Real Durwan, Mrs. Sen’s, and The Third and Final Continent.
