Unaccustomed Earth
Opis
Beginning in America, and spilling back over memories and generations to India, UNACCUSTOMED EARTH follows new lives forged in the wake of loss. With moving compassion Lahiri traces a series of transformations: weariness into hope, secrets into sacrifices, and grief into unforeseen love. Eight luminous stories - longer and richer than any she has yet written - explore the heart of family life and the immigrant experience, taking us from America to Europe, India and Thailand. Infused with eloquent warmth and lyrical simplicity, UNACCUSTOMED EARTH confirms Jhumpa Lahiri's status as a storyteller of unrivalled empathy.
