I could still admire the stories I didn't enjoy as much. She has such a talent for bringing characters alive without many words. I didn't think her stories were all depressing. They were mostly character studies and most had ambiguous endings, because of course people's lives don't end neatly when and where we want them to. I really liked that about her stories.

It means that it keeps getting pushed down the priority list by non-short story collections! The great thing is... I think I own it... Glad you enjoyed it! Maybe it will inspire me to get around to it already! I really want to read this, but I am just not a ’short stories’ person.

Though I actually prefer The Namesake to either of her collections of short stories. Some Indian immigrants seem to not like Lahiri very well, because her stories, taken as a whole, tend to paint the same portrait of the Indian immigration experience. Great review.

I loved this book when I read it several years ago, and I've been horrible in picking up any more of Lahiri's work. I have The Namesake on my shelves, and I returned Unaccustomed Earth unread. Bad Andi! I've never discussed short stories with a book group, but this would be a great one for that I can imagine. Great review, Trish!
