When people get separated from their own people at their own will they suffer from a different line of maladies. Which is interpreted in Jhumpa Lahiri's writings with a homesick tone of belonging and not belonging to anywhere. This book is a short story collection of stories of Bengali family's migration to America and their adaptation. And every story in this book is brilliant.
