Whether set in Boston or Bengal, these sublimely understated stories, imbued with umour and subtle detail, speak with eloquence to anyone who has ever felt the yearnings of exile or the emotional confusion of an outsider. ‘Lahiri is a writter of uncommon elegance and poise, and with Interpreter of Maladies she has made a precocious debut’ New York Times‘Lahiri has an extraordinary voice’
