Jhumpa Lahiri is the author of the collection of short stories called Roman Stories. All the stories take place in Rome. Some of the characters are permanent residents of Rome and others are visiting. The book has 9 stories. In one story, an "empty nest" couple go to an annual party in Rome. Year after year they meet mostly the same people. All goes well until one of the couple crosses a social line. After that, there is no turning back. I enjoyed the descriptions of the neighborhoods and the cafes and the buildings. I enjoyed reading her "slice of life" stories.
