Interpreter Of Maladies - Jhumpa Lahipi

Jhumpa Lahiri's prize-winning debut collection explores the lives of Indians in exile - of people navigating between the strict traditions they've inherited and the baffling New World they must encounter every day. Whether set in Boston or Bengal, these sublimely understated stories, imbued with humour and subtle detail, speak with eloquence to anyone who has ever felt the yearnings of exile or the emotional confusion of an outsider.
