Unaccustomed Earth

One sentence synopsis... Eight stories - some interwoven, most not - of people transplanted from their homes and setting down new roots in foreign environments.

Read it if you like... Jane Austen - for the forensic precision into family habits, customs, and pressures with love versus arranged marriage plots.

Further reading... anything by Lahiri. She circles the same themes of the immigrant experience and family disconnect between generations in every book but every time gets closer and closer to literary perfection.
