Before that I didn't like them. The only reason I read the book was because my book club chose it. Now I am very thankful to my book club. Lahiri is a master of the art of short story!Teddy Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145413222317511542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-47284432933045984092010-01-21T13:11:23.120-08:002010-01-21T13:11:23.120-08:00Ahh, I love Jhumpa Lahiri.
