Any immigrant who loves to read should pick up this book.it is a lovely set of stories on lives of people who may reside overseas, or visit their homeland.most heart warming is that last story in the set, which is about a newly married couple and their initial days in new city in USA.like many other Jhumpa's stories this story also has many twists.
She plays well with her characters and seems to always leave the reader desiring for more in each individual story.She showed the contradictions in human behaviour of most immigrants.in whole a 4.2/5 rating to this story book.
