What to Read: Unaccustomed Earth, by Jhumpa Lahiri

If you loved Jhumpa Lahiri's beautiful writing and storytelling in The Namesake and Interpreter of Maladies, you'll love this collection of stories, which, like her other stories, explore the cultural divide between Indian parents and their American-born children. Lahiri didn't win the Pulitzer for nothing. Her writing is truly sublime, and with emotional stories that draw you in and keep you thinking long afterwards, this book does not disappoint.
