Unaccustomed Earth - Jhumpa Lahiri


I saw the movie Namesake and felt what was so special in it? Now when I read the book ‘Unaccustomed Earth’ by Jhumpa Lahiri I understood how the book Namesake must have been. Jhumpa has an amazing writing style. Very simple and very touching.

Unaccustomed Earth has some very interesting short stories which end abruptly…
You just start getting to know the characters, understand the surroundings and the story ends.

You might want to read the book for its simplicity… for its writing style…
