The collection of short stories by Jhumpa Lahiri is indeed a good piece of work.She makes all her characters come alive within the minds of the reader and provides an insight into the lives of the Indians abroad.Whether it is the story of a couple who tell each other the unspoken truths, or Mrs. Sen who reveals the secret of her life to a stranger, the stories delve deep into the human psyche and explore it.I really appreciate the authors work.
