Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri

This was a collection of eight stories.  The last three were tied together.  There was only one that I did not really like, I just felt very unsettled and uncomfortable with how it ended.  I was drawn into these stories and really felt a part of what was going on.  The subjects of families and friends and time passing were relevant, it made me not want the stories to end.  Lahiri wrote beautifully and it felt like she was talking just to you.  Her style was free flowing and never felt contrived or disjointed.  I am looking forward to finding more of her books and being drawn into her world.
