I read Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies and was sad to see it end. This collection of short stories is like ordering a sample plate of appetizers. Each story was compelling and ended before I was ready to let the characters go. I think this book is a beautiful and comfortable way to learn about life in Calcutta, life of Bengali immigrants to Cambridge, Massachusetts, poverty, wearing sari's, and life in general. I highly recommend this book if you're in the mood for a collection of short stories.
